Speight argues that behind Hegel's appeal to literature in the Phenomenology of Spirit lies a concern with understanding human agency in the modern world. Hegel looked to three literary genres - tragedy, comedy, and the Romantic novel - as offering privileged access to three moments of human agency: retrospectivity, theatricality, and forgiveness.
