She links the development of the genre over three centuries to the evolution of capitalism, but her analyses of literary texts depart significantly from those of most current Marxist critics. Foley maintains that Marxist theory has yet to produce a satisfactory theory of mimesis or of the development of genres, and she addresses such key issues as the problem of reference and the nature of generic distinctions. Among the authors whom Foley treats are Defoe, Scott, George Eliot, Joyce, Isherwood, Dos Passos, William Wells Brown, Ishmael Reed, and Ernest Gaines. 606 $aMarxist criticism 606 $aNonfiction novel$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHistorical fiction, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aReportage literature, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMarxist criticism. 615 0$aNonfiction novel$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHistorical fiction, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aReportage literature, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813/.081/09 700 $aFoley$b Barbara$f1948-$0901566 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910272349803321 996 $aTelling the Truth$92435528 997 $aUNINA
