Description

This book describes the challenge to traditional Christian beliefs that was inherent in the very concept of literary Realism and presents the Catholic novel as a series of conscious readaptations of Realist techniques and models. The mainstream Realist novelists from Flaubert and the Goncourts to Zola and the Catholic novelists from Barbey d'Aurevilly to Bernanos and Julien Green are discussed, as are Huysmans, Bloy and Mauriac. Scott has also written "Mauriac: The Politics of a Novelist".
