Nir Evron juxtaposes seminal works from diverse national literatures to demonstrate that the trope of cultural extinction offers key insights into the emotional and ideological work performed by the realist novel. With an analysis that ranges from the works of Maria Edgeworth and Walter Scott, Edith Wharton's \u003ci\u003eAge of Innocence\u003c\/i\u003e and Joseph Roth's \u003ci\u003eRadetzky March\u003c\/i\u003e and Yaakov Shabtai's \u003ci\u003ePast Continuous\u003c\/i\u003e, and finally to the current state of the humanities, this book seeks to recover literary criticism's humanistic mission, bringing the best that has been thought and said to bear on urgent contemporary concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410444243288,"sku":"9781438480688","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781438480688_9957040d-6dab-4ea0-9a63-316f9a91fa31.jpg?v=1777896062","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/blossom-which-we-are","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
