By describing the intricate inner life of its characters, or widening its focus to set their experience in context, it can evoke the reader's sympathies as few other forms can. Yet it is also by and large a product of the middle classes: boldly individualist and fascinated by money, property, marriage, and inheritance. Can such realism survive in the postmodern age? Acclaimed critic Terry Eagleton explores realism's complex history, practice, and politics. Spanning several centuries, and including writers such as George Eliot, D. H. Lawrence, and Iris Murdoch, Eagleton offers a witty, entertaining defense of a form which offers both panoramic scope and individual nuance in an increasingly fragmented world." -- $c Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 147-153) and index. 505 0 $a Getting real -- What is realism?
