Realism's Revenge: Historians Read "bleak House," "madame Bovary" and "the Buddenbrooks

About This Novel

Do realistic novels really describe "reality"? In this book, Gay provides a detailed interpretation of three great realist novels: Dickens's "Bleak House," Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" and Thomas Mann's "The Buddenbrooks." The historian believes that these three writers took revenge on the society and era in which they lived through their novels. In this book, Gay combines historical research and literary criticism to analyze the relationship between novelists, novels, and history. This book provides literature lovers and historical researchers with a novel reading method that combines the advantages of the two disciplines, making novels an auxiliary medium for discovering historical truth.
