The Persistence of Realism demonstrates how realism's defining concerns - sympathy, class, social determination - animate the work of Henry James, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett and Ralph Ellison. In contrast to the oft-told tale of an aesthetically rich modernism overthrowing realism's social commitments along with its formal structures, Stasi shows how these writers engaged with realism in concrete ways. The domestic novel, naturalist fiction, novels of sentiment, and industrial tales are realist structures that modernist fiction simultaneously preserves and subverts. Putting modernist writers in conversation with the realism that preceded them, The Persistence of Realism demonstrates how modernism's social concerns are inseparable from its formal ones."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction : the remainders of realism -- Fables of autonomy in late James -- "She will drown me with her" : sympathy and autonomy in Joyce's Ulysses -- "Innumerable slight changes" : historical time and social reproduction in The years -- "I was always sentimental" : Beckett's scenes of sympathy -- "He forgot his history" : Ellison's naturalist modernism -- Conclusion : form and mediation, or the desire to explain literary objects. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Realism in literature. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z United States. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stasi, Paul, 1972- $t Persistence of realism in modernist fiction $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2022 $z 9781009223126 $w (DLC) 2022009523 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202024703.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66158AF4627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
