Borus (history, Colgate U.) traces the social and economic conditions that helped to produce American realism. Analyzing publishing records, personal correspondence, and essays, he shows how dramatic changes in the book market of the late nineteenth century required a redefinition of what a novel was, how it was written, on what basis the author engaged the audience, and what social role the author could play. Excellent notes and bibliography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
