Summary
'Realism, Form, and Representation in the Edwardian Novel' recovers a neglected literary history centred on the intricate relationship between fictional representation and philosophical commitment. It asks how - or if - we can conceptualise realist novels when the objects of their representational intentions are realities that might exist beyond what is empirically verifiable by sense data or analytically verifiable by logic, and are thus irreducible to conceptual schemes or linguistic practices - a formulation Charlotte Jones refers to as 'synthetic realism'.
