Balzac, James, and the Realistic Novel
-
William W. Stowe
About this book
This book has a double purpose: to compare the literary projects, theories, and careers of Balzac and Henry James, and to develop a theory of realism that can account for their unabashed mimetic intentions and for their novels' sophisticated textuality.
Originally published in 1983.
