Readers and Their Fictions in the Novels and Novellas of Gottfried Keller
«Hart's observations are decidedly provocative for the scholarly tradition that has commonly considered Realism the antithesis of modernism. Her reevaluation of the role of readers and texts within "realist" works--as a means of identifying and defining the borders between representation and lived experience--clearly merits the close attention of anyone interested in exploring the historical nature of these divisions and their various manifestations." - Monatshefte»
