基本説明
New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 1993. Reveals the often surprising ways in which realistic fiction at once challenged and abetted the growing conservatism of racial politics.
Full Description
In a major contribution to the study of race in American literature, Kenneth W. Warren argues that late-nineteenth-century literary realism was shaped by and in turn helped to shape post-Civil War racial politics. Taking up a variety of novelists, including Henry James and William Dean Howells, he shows that even works not directly concerned with race were instrumental in the return after reconstruction to a racially segregated society.
