The critic F. R. Leavis once called what we think of realism as the
"great tradition," meaning the tradition which most distinguishes
and characterizes the fiction of the Western world from the Romans
to the present. But the fiction of the Western world is, in fact,
best characterized by inventiveness, experimentation, and parody.
While the critical establishment frowns on anything that is either
too daring or that suggests that fiction is a field of play rather
than a grimy window onto the real world, fiction is and always has
been an art form that allows writers the most freedom within which
to play. Innovations includes an introduction by the editor and
concludes with an extensive list of novels that belong to the real
"great tradition" for further reading.
