Sommario/riassunto |
|
Challenges the notion of a break between nineteenth-century realism and twentieth-century modernism based on the two movements' supposedly differing relation to the camera. Burrows argues that just as modernist fiction questions the link between visuality and knowledge, so realist fiction makes the world less knowable by making it more visible. |
