Abstract:

Few literary phenomena are as elusive and yet as persistent as realism. While
it responds to the perennial impulse to use literature to reflect on
experience, it also designates a specific set of literary and artistic
practices that emerged in response to Western modernity. "Landscapes of
Realism" is a two-volume collaborative interdisciplinary exploration of this
vast territory, bringing together leading-edge new criticism on the realist
paradigms that were first articulated in nineteenth-century Europe but have
since gone on globally to transform the literary landscape. Tracing the
manifold ways in which these paradigms are developed, discussed and contested
across time, space, cultures and media, this first volume tackles in its five
core essays and twenty-five case studies such questions as why realism emerged
when it did, why and how it developed such a transformative dynamic across
languages, to what extent realist poetics remain central to art and popular
culture after 1900, and how generally to reassess realism from a
twenty-first-century comparative perspective.
