Product: Idyllic Realism from Mary Russell Mitford to Hardy
Brand: Brand: Palgrave Macmillan
Relevance: Substitute
Though the dominant trend in nineteenth-century literature was towards the kind of realism that highlights social evils and intractable personal problems, most of the major writers of the period also persisted with fictions embodying a relatively idyllic view of contemporary life. The present study looks at the ways in which some of these fictions cope with 'realistic' subjects such as clas conflict, sexual conflict, and death, while sustaining a basically idyllic mood. Examples discussed include Mary Russel Mitford's Our Village, Tennyson's 'English Idyls' and other poems, Cranford, 'Amos Baron', Silas Marner, Rachey Ray, Wives and Daughters, Under the Greenwood Tree and Far from the Madding Crowd.
