Focusing on novels by Theodore Dreiser, George Gissing and Emile Zola, Just Looking, first published in 1985, addresses itself to a central paradox of the period: the perceived antithesis of the terms ""commerce"" and ""culture"" which emerged at a time which saw the actual drawing together of commercial and cultural practices.<Routledge revivals.Fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismFiction20th centuryHistory and criticismNaturalism in literatureConsumption (Economics) in literatureElectronic books.FictionHistory and criticism.FictionHistory and criticism.Naturalism in literature.Consumption (Economics) in literature.809.39355Bowlby Rachel1957-,166107MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454915803321Just looking1339604UNINA
