Description

Explore how American realist writers grappled with technological change and its ethical implications in this groundbreaking literary criticism study from Routledge. This scholarly work examines major figures including Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, Charles W. Chesnutt and Edith Wharton, revealing their deep anxieties about innovation and communication technologies during the realism era. Rather than treating literature and technology as unproblematic partners, this book demonstrates the complex relationship between scientific progress and linguistic ethics that preoccupied American realist authors. Essential reading for scholars of American literature, cultural theory and the history of technology's influence on artistic expression.
