Literature has never looked weirder--full of images, colors,
gadgets, and footnotes, and violating established norms of
character, plot, and narrative structure. Yet over the last 30
years, critics have coined more than 20 new "realisms" in their
attempts to describe it. What makes this decidedly unorthodox
literature "realistic"? And if it is, then what does "realism" mean
anymore? Examining literature by dozens of writers, and over a
century of theory and criticism about realism, The Moral Worlds of
Contemporary Realism sorts through the current critical confusion
to illustrate how our ideas about what is real and how best to
depict it have changed dramatically, especially in recent years.
Along the way, Mary K. Holland guides the reader on a lively tour
through the landscape of contemporary literary studies--taking in
metafiction, ideology, posthumanism, postmodernism, and
poststructuralism--with forays into quantum mechanics, new
materialism, and Buddhism as well, to give us entirely new ways of
viewing how humans use language to make sense of--and to make--the
world.
