This chapter demonstrates that the fight for greater realism in literature and life was long-lasting and transpired not on a single front but across many battlefields involving a wide variety of actors. Often, war itself was the impetus, first in the rewriting of the “facts” and significance of the Civil War and later as a means of response to the masculine bluster and bloodlust wrought by the Spanish-American War. The gender and class wars of the 1880s and 1890s were also relevant to this embattled genre, as were the effects of industrialization and immigration, which led to the massive growth of New York at this time, where so many of the newspapers and magazines promoting the various strands of realism were based. New York, war, and social issues were all entangled in the emergence of this genre, as numerous New York authors and artists sought to make sense of modern America and mold it to their own visions.
这一章表明,在文学和生活中为更大的现实主义而进行的斗争是持久的,并不是在单一战线上发生的,而是在涉及各种各样的行动者的许多战场上发生的。通常,战争本身就是推动力,首先是对内战“事实”和意义的改写,后来是对美西战争带来的男性咆哮和嗜血的回应。19世纪80年代和90年代的性别和阶级斗争也与这种陷入困境的流派有关,工业化和移民的影响也与此有关,这导致了当时纽约的大规模发展,许多宣传各种现实主义流派的报纸和杂志都以纽约为基础。纽约、战争和社会问题都与这种类型的出现纠缠在一起,因为许多纽约作家和艺术家试图理解现代美国,并将其塑造成他们自己的愿景。

Realism and the Cinematic Gaze 现实主义和电影的凝视

The technology for and, consequently, the artistic potential of cinema emerged at the end of the nineteenth century during a period roughly contemporaneous with the careers of many prominent realist authors. Despite this concurrence, early cinema was, by and large, of relatively little interest to the creators of realist literature. However, their literary works have proven immensely popular with filmmakers. After surveying the limited but ultimately telling responses to the new medium by a number of writers from the realist period, this chapter suggests, through a concluding analysis of three distinctive works of cinema that were based on realist fiction, that the two forms ultimately share an abiding and even structuring affinity for the power of realistic representations to define and direct the reader’s or viewer’s perspective.
电影的技术和艺术潜力在19世纪末出现,这一时期与许多著名的现实主义作家的职业生涯大致相同。尽管如此,早期的电影,总的来说,对现实主义文学的创作者来说,相对来说兴趣不大。然而,事实证明,他们的文学作品在电影制作人中非常受欢迎。在调查了一些现实主义时期的作家对新媒介的有限但最终有意义的回应之后,本章通过对三部基于现实主义小说的独特电影作品的总结分析表明,这两种形式最终都有一种持久的甚至结构化的亲和力,即现实主义表现的力量来定义和指导读者或观众的视角。

This chapter focuses on several realist and naturalist works that have been subject to censorship by librarians, editors, publishers, or the legal system. It examines censorship allegations made by authors and later by critics and biographers about Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892), Stephen Crane’s Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893) and The Red Badge of Courage (1895), Hamlin Garland’s The Rose of Dutcher’s Cooley (1895), Kate Chopin’s The Awakening (1899), Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie (1901) and An American Tragedy (1925), and Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle (1906). Finally, it connects the historical context of the censorship issue to the recent debates on college campuses about speech codes and to contemporary book censorship and free-speech cases in the public schools.
这一章的重点是几个现实主义和自然主义的作品,已经受到审查的图书馆员,编辑,出版商,或法律制度。它考察了作家以及后来的评论家和传记作家对审查制度的指控,包括马克·吐温的《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》(1884)、夏洛特·帕金斯·吉尔曼的《黄色墙纸》(1892)、斯蒂芬·克莱恩的《玛吉:街上的女孩》(1893)和《红色勇气勋章》(1895)、哈姆林·加兰的《荷兰库利的玫瑰》(1895)、凯特·肖邦的《觉醒》(1899)、西奥多·德莱塞的《嘉莉妹妹》(1901)和《美国悲剧》(1925)以及厄普顿·辛克莱的《丛林》(1906)。最后,它将审查问题的历史背景与最近在大学校园中关于言论规范的辩论以及当代公立学校的书籍审查和言论自由案例联系起来。

Realism’s American Readers, 1860–1914
Pub Date : 2019-09-26 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190642891.013.17
Charles Johanningsmeier
This chapter demonstrates that the readership for American literary realism during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was much more heterogeneous and extensive than previously believed. Works of realism were not read only in high-priced magazines and books by genteel audiences living in urban areas, but they were also available in a wide variety of lower-priced books and periodicals—including newspapers—that reached people from various socioeconomic classes in small towns and rural areas as well as in cities. This chapter also provides an analysis of the limitations of previous research on readers’ reception of realist fiction, as well as a detailed explanation of the new approaches that literary scholars need to adopt in order to understand the cultural labor that realist texts performed among its various audiences.
这一章表明,在19世纪末和20世纪初,美国文学现实主义的读者群比以前认为的要多样化和广泛得多。现实主义作品不仅在高价杂志和书籍上被生活在城市地区的上流社会的观众阅读,而且在各种低价书籍和期刊上——包括报纸上——也可以读到,这些书籍和期刊不仅在城市,而且在小城镇和农村地区的不同社会经济阶层的人们也能读到。本章还分析了以往关于读者接受现实主义小说的研究的局限性,并详细解释了文学学者需要采用的新方法,以理解现实主义文本在不同受众中所进行的文化劳动。

Realism and the Middle-Class Balancing Act 现实主义和中产阶级平衡法案
Pub Date : 2019-09-26 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190642891.013.27
Patrick Chura
This chapter looks at the effects of capitalism and social stratification on notions of class identity in two groups of American realist novels. First, it analyzes a pair of literary responses by William Dean Howells to the 1886 Chicago Haymarket bombing as the lead-in to a discussion of realist works about voluntary downward class mobility or “vital contact.” With Howells’s A Hazard of New Fortunes as a reference point and paradigm, the chapter also explores the ideologies implicit in several novels about upward social mobility, noting how both groups of texts are ultimately guided by a genteel perspective positioned between dominant and subordinate classes. In similar ways, the novels treated in the chapter balance middle-class loyalties against identities from higher and lower on the social scale while sending messages of both complicity and subversion on the subject of capitalist class relations.
本章考察了资本主义和社会分层对两组美国现实主义小说中阶级认同观念的影响。首先,它分析了威廉·迪恩·豪威尔斯对1886年芝加哥干草市场爆炸事件的两篇文学回应,作为对现实主义作品关于自愿向下流动或“重要接触”的讨论的开端。以豪威尔斯的《新财富的危险》为参照点和范例,本章还探讨了几本关于向上社会流动的小说中隐含的意识形态,注意到这两组文本最终是如何被一种定位于统治阶级和从属阶级之间的绅士视角所引导的。以类似的方式,本章所讨论的小说平衡了中产阶级的忠诚与社会等级上更高和更低的身份,同时在资产阶级关系的主题上传递了共谋和颠覆的信息。

African American Realism 非裔美国人现实主义
Pub Date : 2019-09-26 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190642891.013.11
C. A. Wooley
Critical accounts of American literary realism have often focused on how realism is an intervention in, rather than a simple representation of, reality. Truth, however, remains a powerful referent for realists and a particularly complex one for postbellum African American writers whose works exemplify, but also interrogate, realism as a mode of representation. This chapter argues that linking African American writers such as Paul Laurence Dunbar and Charles Chesnutt to the realism of William Dean Howells reveals how for these writers, realism itself becomes a way to interrogate the power of stories to define what is true and to intervene in such assumptions. At the same time, these authors’ works increasingly show the limits of such interventions in relation to the intractability of racialized and racist discourse—and the racial disparities such discourse reinforces—at the turn of the twentieth century.
对美国文学现实主义的批评往往集中在现实主义是如何介入现实的,而不是对现实的简单再现。然而,对于现实主义者来说,真理仍然是一个强有力的参考,对于战后的非裔美国作家来说,真理是一个特别复杂的参考,他们的作品是现实主义作为一种表现方式的例证,但也质疑现实主义。这一章认为将非裔美国作家如保罗·劳伦斯·邓巴和查尔斯·切斯纳特与威廉·迪恩·豪威尔斯的现实主义联系起来揭示了对这些作家来说,现实主义本身是如何成为一种方式来询问故事的力量来定义什么是真实的并干预这些假设。与此同时,这些作者的作品越来越多地表明,在20世纪之交,这种干预与种族化和种族主义话语的棘手性以及这种话语所强化的种族差异有关。

Realism 2.0 现实主义2.0
Pub Date : 2019-09-26 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190642891.013.37
Augusta Rohrbach
This chapter looks to the future of teaching realism with Web 2.0 technologies. After discussing the ways in which technologies of data modeling can reveal patterns for interpretation, the chapter examines how these technologies can update the social-reform agenda of realism as exemplified by William Dean Howells’s attempted intervention into the Haymarket Riot in 1886. The advent of Web 2.0 techologies offers students a way to harness the genre’s sense of social purpose to knowledge-sharing mechanisms to create a vehicle for political consciousness-raising in real time. The result is “Realism 2.0,” a realism that enables readers to engage in their world, which is less text-centric than it was for previous writers.
本章展望了使用Web 2.0技术进行现实主义教学的未来。在讨论了数据建模技术可以揭示解释模式的方式之后,本章研究了这些技术如何更新现实主义的社会改革议程,例如威廉·迪恩·豪威尔斯(William Dean Howells)试图干预1886年的干草市场骚乱。Web 2.0技术的出现为学生们提供了一种方法,可以利用这种类型的社会目的感来共享知识机制,从而创建一种实时提高政治意识的工具。其结果是“现实主义2.0”,一种使读者能够参与到他们的世界中的现实主义,这种现实主义不像以前的作家那样以文本为中心。

Realist Literature, Painting, and Immediacy 现实主义文学、绘画和即时性
Pub Date : 2019-09-26 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190642891.013.32
Peter Betjemann
Literary realism traditionally seems painterly to the degree that it features museums, galleries, and specific works or to the degree that its descriptive qualities parallel the interest of nineteenth-century artists in observed subjects. This chapter, however, connects realist literature and painting less through decorative or observational features than through certain practices of sociocultural critique. The first section, “Visuality,” focuses on a series of shared formal strategies used by writers and painters to depict unconventional women in conventional society, to orient the eye to sociological critique, and to challenge post–Civil War tendencies to sentimentalize unity and harmony. The second section, “Temporality,” focuses on different relations to time in the two mediums: painters tended to minimize narrative sequence even as writers depended on it. Close readings of Henry James’s “A Landscape-Painter” and Edith Wharton’s “The Portrait,” however, reveal that the “instantaneity” of contemporary painting served writers as a point of reference for critically interrogating the sociocultural orientation of realism itself.
文学现实主义传统上似乎是绘画的程度,它以博物馆、画廊和特定作品为特色,或者在某种程度上,它的描述品质与19世纪艺术家对观察对象的兴趣相似。然而,本章将现实主义文学与绘画联系起来,不是通过装饰或观察特征,而是通过某些社会文化批评的实践。第一部分“视觉性”(Visuality)聚焦于作家和画家在描绘传统社会中的非传统女性时所使用的一系列共同的正式策略,将目光转向社会学批判,并挑战内战后将统一与和谐感化的倾向。第二部分“时间性”(Temporality)关注的是两种媒介与时间的不同关系:画家倾向于将叙事顺序最小化,而作家则依赖叙事顺序。然而,仔细阅读亨利·詹姆斯的《风景画家》和伊迪丝·沃顿的《肖像》,就会发现,当代绘画的“即时性”为作家们批判性地质疑现实主义本身的社会文化取向提供了一个参考点。

The Feminine Origins of American Literary Realism 美国现实主义文学的女性起源
Pub Date : 2019-09-26 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190642891.013.2
Sophia Forster
This chapter describes American literary realism as emerging from the efforts of a group of early postbellum women writers—Elizabeth Stoddard, Rebecca Harding Davis, Louisa May Alcott, and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps—to access the newly minted American high literary culture exemplified by the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The origins of realism, these writers’ texts show, lie in intertextuality. They not only revise their own and one another’s work to excise the vestiges of the popular feminine tradition of domestic sentimentalism, but they also rework Hawthorne’s canonical gothic plots and imagery in the context of a shift in literary tastes away from the romance and toward an aesthetic that values the contemporary and the everyday. Their adaptation of the Hawthornean gothic to address the patriarchal and capitalist foundations of social life yields the earliest version of American literary realism as a mode of structural social critique.
这一章描述了美国文学现实主义是战后早期一群女作家——伊丽莎白·斯托达德、丽贝卡·哈丁·戴维斯、路易莎·梅·奥尔科特和伊丽莎白·斯图尔特·菲利普斯——努力进入以纳撒尼尔·霍桑为代表的新形成的美国高雅文学文化的产物。这些作家的文本表明,现实主义的根源在于互文性。他们不仅修改自己和彼此的作品,以消除流行的家庭感伤主义女性传统的残余,而且在文学品味从浪漫转向重视当代和日常的审美的背景下,他们还重新设计了霍桑的经典哥特式情节和意象。他们对霍桑哥特式小说的改编,探讨了社会生活中的父权主义和资本主义基础,形成了美国文学现实主义的最早版本,作为一种结构社会批判的模式。

This chapter concentrates on European realist innovators—Björnstjerne Björnson, Ivan Turgenev, Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant—and their effect on the formative period of American realism. It studies in detail the transatlantic development of new techniques and discusses the ways in which these new methods were reflected in the works of American authors and critics. Inspired by the theories and practice of their precursors, American writers felt liberated to introduce new narrative strategies to represent America’s rising urbanism, the struggles of the social classes, and the increase of social mobility in the industrial age. They also dealt with the emancipated “New Woman” and the changing relationship between the sexes. The guiding principles on which writers on both sides of the Atlantic agreed were truth, sincerity, and frankness.
本章主要讨论欧洲现实主义作家innovators-Björnstjerne Björnson、屠格涅夫、托尔斯泰、陀思妥耶夫斯基、巴尔扎克、福楼拜、莫泊桑,以及他们对美国现实主义形成时期的影响。它详细研究了跨大西洋新技术的发展,并讨论了这些新方法如何反映在美国作家和评论家的作品中。受到前辈的理论和实践的启发,美国作家感到自由了,可以引入新的叙事策略来表现美国不断上升的城市化、社会阶级的斗争以及工业时代社会流动性的增加。他们还讨论了解放的“新女性”和两性关系的变化。大西洋两岸的作家都认同的指导原则是真实、真诚和坦率。
