American Literary Realism, Critical Theory, and Intellectual Prestige, 1880-1995 (Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture) Book

Focusing on key works of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century American literary realism, Phillip Barrish traces the emergence of new ways of gaining intellectual prestige--that is, new ways of gaining some degree of cultural recognition. Through extended readings of works by Henry James, William Dean Howells, Abraham Cahan, and Edith Wharton, Barrish emphasizes the differences between realist modes of cultural authority and those associated with the rise of the social sciences. This book is the first extended treatment of a genre, realism, central to our understanding of American literature.Read More
