Realist writers of the period include some of America's greatest, such as Henry James, Edith Wharton and Mark Twain, but also many lesser-known writers whose work still speaks to us today, for instance Charles Chesnutt, Zitkala-Ša and Sarah Orne Jewett. Emphasizing realism's historical context, this introduction traces the genre's relationship with powerful, often violent, social conflicts involving race, gender, class and national origin. It also examines how the realist style was created; the necessarily ambiguous relationship between realism produced on the page and reality outside the book; and the different, often contradictory, forms 'realism' took in literary works by different authors. The most accessible yet sophisticated account of American literary realism currently available, this volume will be of great value to students, teachers and readers of the American novel"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001398300 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001398300 650_0 $$aAmerican fiction$$y19th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001398300 650_0 $$aAmerican fiction$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001398300 650_0 $$aLiterature and society$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 001398300 650_0 $$aLiterature and society$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001398300 650_0 $$aRealism in literature. 001398300 650_0 $$aPopular literature$$zUnited States$$xHistory and criticism. 001398300 650_0 $$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 001398300 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBarrish, Phillip.$$tCambridge introduction to American literary realism.$$dCambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2011$$z9780521897693$$w(DLC) 2011028104$$w(OCoLC)738338596 001398300 830_0 $$aCambridge introductions to literature. 001398300 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001398300 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=807180$$zOnline Access 001398300 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/97693/cover/9780521897693.jpg 001398300 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:445948$$pGLOBAL_SET 001398300 980__ $$aEBOOK 001398300 980__ $$aBIB 001398300 982__ $$aEbook 001398300 983__ $$aOnline 001398300 994__ $$a92$$bISE
