商品簡介
Realism is not what it used to be. Writers who used to rely on hard-bitten reality for their inspiration and muse are now walking in the gardens of postmodernism and poststructuralism. However, there are still realists among us in the novel, in cultural studies, and in alternative writing forms. These ten essays, from a variety of European locales, look at the contributions of recent writers, including the authenticity effect and allegory, women realist writers, socialist and postcolonial writing, representing the planet, Icelandic Environmental literature, the work of Pamuk and Shapton, British drama since the 1990s, contemporary German theater, Watermelon Woman, and visual event realism.
