Review


Schehr's close analysis of the 'perverse paths' taken by writers from 1830-1939 makes this readable study insightful and fascinating. Highly recommended.


At once playful and serious--and wonderfully witty--Subversions of Verisimilitude is a must-read for all fans and detractors of canonical realism and the world it has helped to construct. Schehr gives his reader a cutaway view of two centuries of surface verisimilitude and its deep-structure deconstructions. Here is realism splayed on the page in all its polymorphously perverted states.-Janet Beizer


Focusing on realism's deviations from itself, Subversions of Verisimilitude illuminates major authors like Balzac, Flaubert, Colette, Proust and major works like Germinal and La Nause. It is a splendid performance and a major contribution to the study of realist representation.-Gerald Prince
