This classic interdisciplinary study examines the construction of the media of modernity, neutral time and neutral space. Elizabeth Deeds Ermarth redefines realism in terms of values crucial across the entire range of European cultural practice between the Renaissance and the late nineteenth century particularly values belonging to a grammar of perspective that has been crucial to cultural developments such as empiricism, representation in art and in politics, and historical conventions in narrative.

Discussion includes case-studies of Defoe, Richardson, Austen, Dickens, George Eliot and Henry James, among others.
