First published in 1973, On Realism is a comprehensive introduction
to the complex problem of literary realism. Written from both a
critical and philosophical perspective, the book brings together
the concrete study of literary cases and the conceptual analysis of
the terms used in describing them. It uses examples drawn from a
wide range of European literature and engages in philosophical
discussion to argue for a richer and freer sense of the concept
than was more commonly in favour at the time of writing. The book
describes the literary forms of realism as an art of the 'middle
distance' and sets out its character and value against alternatives
and distortions - symbolism, naturalism, socialist realism, faits
divers, and the literature of language consciousness. On Realism
will appeal to those with an interest in literary history, the
history of literary theory, and literature and philosophy.
