| Abstract | "Realism has been disparaged for over a hundred years as an outmoded form, and, more recently, as a pernicious illusion, typical of nineteenth-century novels and Hollywood movies alike. American Narrative Realism shows why both views are wrong, demonstrating the vitality of realism in contemporary narratives across media"-- Provided by publisher. |
