{"product_id":"nineteenth-century-literary-realism-katherine-kearns-9780521496063","title":"Nineteenth-Century Literary Realism","description":"Nineteenth-Century Literary Realism radically redefines the genre of realism, arguing that its political commitment to social reform--its earnest agenda--often enters into conflict with its formal demands. Obliged to portray life as truthfully as possible--often through the vehicle of describing tortured souls in a world out of sorts--realism must also satisfy ideological demands that may not jibe with that truth, leading to a crisis of form and function. By looking at these conflicts as peculiar to realism, Kearns reads as realist several texts usually considered too fantastic to fit the realist prescription.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Kearns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521496063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521496063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.27w x 0.88d","brand":"Katherine Kearns","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422186586367,"sku":"9780521496063","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_537fa1a2-0e1f-411f-b3ff-f9b2112431ec.jpg?v=1761527509","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nineteenth-century-literary-realism-katherine-kearns-9780521496063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
