Originally published in 1983, The Sentiment of Reality covers the
rise and decline of the realist novel from the mid-eighteenth
century to the mid-twentieth century. The book takes the form of an
extended essay on two closely related themes in the history of the
novel: first, the impact and aftermath of the eighteenth-century
cult of sentiment and, secondly, the supplanting of illusionism by
an aesthetic of mimesis. This forms the basis of an exploration of
the emotional impact that fiction has on the reader. Using this
analysis, the book defends the realist tradition against common
contemporary criticism. The Sentiment of Reality combines a close
reading of key moments in European fiction with a wide-ranging
speculative treatment of historical and formal questions.
