by Kenneth A. Loparo (Author)
This book develops alternative paradigms of literary realism with which to reexamine a group of crucial but marginalized twentiethcentury writers who have been misread as conventional mimetic realists. Don Adams reveals how allegory, pastoral, and parable are used by these writers as an alternative to mimesis. By working in and through these devices, these writers created virtualpotential realities that relate to conventional actuality in complex and challenging ways.
