Peter Brooks takes a new look at the realist tradition and its intense interest in the visual. Discussing major English and French novels and paintings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Brooks provides a lively and perceptive view of the realist project. Centering each chapter on a single novel or group of paintings, Brooks examines the "invention" of realism beginning with Balzac and Dickens, its apogee in the work of such as Flaubert, Eliot, and Zola, and its continuing force in James and modernists such as Woolf. He considers also the painting of Courbet, Manet, Caillebotte, Tissot, and Lucian Freud, and such recent phenomena as "photorealism" and "reality TV."English fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismRealism in literatureFrench fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismComparative literatureEnglish and FrenchComparative literatureFrench and EnglishEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Realism in literature.French fictionHistory and criticism.Comparative literatureEnglish and French.Comparative literatureFrench and English.823/.80912Brooks Peter1938-184498MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777783303321Realist vision725814UNINA
