Abstract

This reprinted essay, written in 1982 by the co-founder of Romance Studies, examined different ways of considering realism, from Balzac, Stendhal, and Baudelaire to Flaubert, Zola, Robbe-Grillet, and Barthes. In it, Nelson questioned the assumptions underlying la nouvelle critique's denial of realism.
