TY - BOOK T1 - The Narratology of Observation, Studies in a Technique of European Literary Realism Y1 - 2018 A1 - Wagner, Martin KW - description and narration KW - literary realism KW - literature and knowledge KW - Observation AB - How does literature evoke reality? This book takes cues from the history of scientific observation to provide a new approach to this longstanding question of literary studies. It reconstructs a narrative technique of ‘literary’ observation in which reality appears by mimicking processes of visual perception, and it traces the functioning of this technique through a wide range of European fiction from the early 18th to the late 19th centuries.
