This book is a two-part study of 19th century French Realism, as exemplified by the author's close readings of short stories by Guy de Maupassant and Ãmile Zola. Realism is defined as a movement wherein novelists rejected the fanciful and the heroic to produce works of fiction that realistically captured the details of daily life, thus revealing the full spectrum of the human condition, no matter how trivial, unpleasant, or shocking. The author suggests that literary Realism offers a detailed record of the era, through the words of writers who sought, in part, to provide a kind of social documentation.
