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." 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRealism in literature 606 $aFrench fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aComparative literature$xEnglish and French 606 $aComparative literature$xFrench and English 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRealism in literature. 615 0$aFrench fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aComparative literature$xEnglish and French. 615 0$aComparative literature$xFrench and English. 676 $a823/.80912 700 $aBrooks$b Peter$f1938-$0184498 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451789703321 996 $aRealist vision$9725814 997 $aUNINA
