The Cambridge Introduction to Postmodern Fiction(ISBN=978052
Postmodern fiction presents a challenge to the reader: insteadof enjoying it passively, the reader has to work to understand itsmeanings, to think about what fiction is, and to question their ownresponses.

It introduces the most prominentBritish and American novelists associated with postmodernism, fromthe 'pioneers', Beckett, Borges and Burroughs, to importantpost-war writers such as Pynchon, Carter, Atwood, Morrison, Gibson,Auster, DeLillo, and Ellis. Designed for students and clearlywritten, this Introduction explains the preoccupations, styles andtechniques that unite postmodern authors.

The Cambridge Introduction to American Literary Realism(ISBN
Between the Civil War and the First World War, realism was themost prominent form of American fiction. Realist writers of theperiod include some of America's greatest, such as Henry James,Edith Wharton and Mark Twain, but also many lesser-known writerswhose work still speaks to us today, for instance Charles Chesnutt,Zitkala-?a and Sarah Orne Jewett. Emphasizing realism's historicalcontext, this introduction traces the genre's relationship withpowerful, often violent, social conflicts involving race, gender,class and national origin. It also examines how the realist stylewas created; the necessarily ambiguous relationship between realismproduced on the page and reality outside the book; and thedifferent, often contradictory, forms 'realism' took in literaryworks by different authors. The most accessible yet sophisticatedaccount of American literary realism currently available, thisvolume will be of great value to students, teachers and readers ofthe American novel. ?
