Through its take on ‘the humble’, this volume attempts to reveal the depth and
philosophical relevance of literature, its ethical and political dimension as
well as its connection to life. Because it can be associated with social
class, religion, psychology or ethics, the notion of ‘the humble’ lends itself
to diverse types of studies. The papers collected in this volume argue that in
the course of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, artists and writers have
revisited the term ‘humble’ and, far from treating it as a simple motif, have
raised it to the status of an aesthetic category. This category can first
foster a better understanding of fiction, poetry, painting, and their
representation of precarious lives through various genres and modes. It may
also draw attention to neglected or depreciated humble novels or art forms
that developed from the Victorian to the contemporary period, through the
Edwardian and the modernist eras. Finally, it helps revise assumptions about
the literature and art of the period and signals to a poetics of the humble.
The works of art examined here explore the humble as a possible capacity and
ethical force, a way of being and acting.
