520 Publisher's description: Fiction, Intuition, and
Creativity is a search for the origins of fiction and for
an understanding of how these origins influence the
finished work of art. It examines the connection between
the creative process and fictional form by discussing how
intuitive consciousness provides the environment in which
creativity flourishes and how writers make use of
intuitive creativity in their novels.Looking first at how
the link between intuition and creativity has been
explored in philosophy, psychology, and aesthetics by
thinkers such as Henri Bergson, William James, Carl Jung,
and Benedetto Croce, the book proceeds to an extended
discussion of what novelists reveal about the workings of
their creative processes, focusing on the intuitive
dimension of aesthetic activity. This includes the role of
the unconscious and of emotion, the need for an incubation
period before the novel emerges into consciousness, and
the sense that characters inhabit an autonomous realm and
frequently operate beyond the control of their authors.
The works of four novelists are discussed in depth. In the
fiction of Charlotte Bront,͡ intuition functions as
content; the intuitive consciousness of Jane Eyre and Lucy
Snowe empowers them to know and to act in a world that
would impede their ability to do both. Henry James₂s life-
long fascination with his creative process and his
understanding of its intuitive underpinnings lead to the
development of his later style and his focus on
consciousness. Virginia Woolf₂s career is analyzed as a
steady progression toward her reshaping of the novel into
an intuitive vehicle. In the fiction of Doris Lessing,
intuition again appears as content as Lessing makes
intuitive consciousness the basis of her psychic politics.
This unique work offers much for those interested in the
structure and development of fiction, the subject of
creativity and intuitive consciousness, or in the four
authors analyzed at length in the text.
