Exploring the controversial history of an aesthetic - realism -
this book examines the role that realism plays in the negotiation
of social, political, and material realities from the mid-19th
century to the present day. Examining a broad range of literary
texts from French, English, Italian, German, and Russian writers,
this book provides new insights into how realism engages with
themes including capital, social decorum, the law and its
politicisation, modern science as a determining factor concerning
truth, and the politics of identity. Considering works from Gustave
Flaubert, Charles Baudelaire, Emile Zola, Henry James, Charles
Dickens, and George Orwell, Docherty proposes a new philosophical
conception of the politics of realism in an age where politics
feels increasingly erratic and fantastical.
