"Janet McKay links three great American novelists - Henry James, William Dean Howells, and Mark Twain - to reveal their concern with narration and character's discourse as central to a 'realistic' form of storytelling. McKay combines literary analysis with linguistic principles in exploring a fresh approach to the catagory of realism. She reveals how narrative structure and discourse develop characterization, plot, irony, empathy and ultimately provide a solid basis for interpretation. Finally, she explains how James', Howells', and Twain's experiments in realism hold the key to their theories on language and literature." $20.00USD
