Obliged to portray life as truthfully as possible--often through the vehicle of describing tortured souls in a world out of sorts--realism must also satisfy ideological demands that may not jibe with that truth, leading to a crisis of form and function. By looking at these conflicts as peculiar to realism, Kearns reads as realist several texts usually considered too fantastic to fit the realist prescription.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67968538542368,"sku":"NEW0521496063","price":153.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71jD2dccvLL.jpg?v=1792933082","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/nineteenth-century-literary-realism-through-the-looking-glass-0521496063","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
