Form vs. content, aesthetics vs. politics, modernism vs. realism:
these entrenched binaries tend to structure work in early 20th
century literary studies even among scholars who seek to undo them.
The Persistence of Realism demonstrates how realism's defining
concerns - sympathy, class, social determination - animate the work
of Henry James, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett and
Ralph Ellison. In contrast to the oft-told tale of an aesthetically
rich modernism overthrowing realism's social commitments along with
its formal structures, Stasi shows how these writers engaged with
realism in concrete ways. The domestic novel, naturalist fiction,
novels of sentiment, and industrial tales are realist structures
that modernist fiction simultaneously preserves and subverts.
Putting modernist writers in conversation with the realism that
preceded them, The Persistence of Realism demonstrates how
modernism's social concerns are inseparable from its formal ones.
