Opis

Demonstrates the persistence of realism's characteristic concerns – sympathy, melodrama, gender and class – in the most aesthetically innovative works of modernist fiction.

Recenzje

'Paul Stasi's book refuses a simple story of realism vs modernism in which one is a passive reflection and the other a stylized rejection of how things are. Instead he yokes them together as valuable resources for imagining how things might be.' Times Literary Supplement
