Realist Vision by Peter Brooks
Explores the claim to represent the world 'as it is'. This work takes a fresh look at the realist tradition and its intense interest in the visual. Discussing major English and French novels and paintings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it provides a perceptive view of the realist project.
“Brooks makes these authors come aliveReading about them and their work is like reading a good novel. This is a culminating text by a real pro, in the best sense of the word. It comes from the heart, but there are years of scholarly work and critical engagement behind it.”—Linda Nochlin, Lila Acheson Wallace Professor of Modern Art at the New York University Institute of Fine Arts
