  • Die Ökonomien des Realismusby Christian Rakow

    De Gruyter 2013; US$ 140.00

    The literature of realism from 1850 to 1900 has maintained a lively exchange of knowledge across the disciplinary boundaries of economics and literary studies.

This... more...

  • Romantic Feudsby Kim Wheatley

    Marcel Proust was long the object of a cult in which the main point of reading his great novel In Search of Lost Time was to find, with its narrator, a redemptive epiphany in a pastry and a cup of lime-blossom tea. We now live in less confident times, in ways that place great strain on the assumptions and beliefs that made those earlier readings... more...
