Nineteenth-Century Literary Realism argues for realism as a genre
committed to depicting the imperilled ecological system of soul and
society. More specifically: realism, Kearns argues, suggests to its
readers that social and political and economic reforms are
inextricably tied to spiritual well being. In the process of trying
to communicate that suggestion, realism enters into a kind of
considerate conversation with its readers which - through the
slippage endemic to language - rapidly works to destabilise, even
undermine, its own assumptions. Thus realism, in addition to
bearing the burden of its own reformist agenda and the duty of
character-enactment within a restricted environment, is charged
with an alternative energy which can be seen at the same time to
disrupt and to enrich its generic, formal bounds. She explores
these concepts through five British and American novels -
Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, The Blithedale Romance, Hard Times
and The Awakening.
