Realism (Modern Literatures In Perspective) - Hardcover

This is a series on modern international authors, works and concepts.

In this volume Professor Furst guides the student through the complexities of this difficult subject. He offers students the best writings on the subject in one volume. A substantial introduction, headnotes and a glossary of terms provide a wider context for the essays and explain, clearly, terms with which the student may be unfamiliar. It is an undergraduate text ideal for courses in 19th and 20th century literature, literature theory, comparative literature and literature in translation.
