Art, Vision, and Nineteenth-Century Realist Drama
«
"Holzapfel's new ways of seeing realism are interesting and add a valuable new layer to understanding of the dramatic form. Summing Up: Recommended." -- S. J. Blackstone, University of Victoria, CHOICE
"Grounding her impressive study of major realist playwrights in discussions of eighteenth and nineteenth-century scientific works on vision, painting trends, and early photography, Holzapfel argues that these playwrights "struggled to reveal . . . that seeing—and, by extension, knowing—are relative processes governed by the forces of a body moving in space and time," presenting readers with a thought-provoking book that combines her compelling arguments with reproductions of paintings and photographs that reveal connections between the visual arts and theatre." --Nevena Stojanovic, West Virginia University, Theatre Journal

Realism in theatre is traditionally defined as a mere seed of modernism, a crude attempt to reproduce an exact copy of reality on stage. Art, Vision & Nineteenth-Century Realist Drama redefines realism as a complex and under-examined form of visual modernism, one that positioned theatre at the crux of the encounter between consciousness and the visible world.
