Machine and Metaphor: The Ethics of Language in American Realism - Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory
Cook, Jennifer C. (Bentley College, Waltham, USA)
American literary realism burgeoned during a period of tremendous technological innovation. This work looks at how the realists tried to forge an ethical position between the two poles of science and sentimentality, attempting to create an alternative mode of speech that, avoiding the trap of codifying iteration, could enable ethical action.
