Realism has not only shaped important schools and periods in literary history, but has also been a fundamental constant of all literature, its first theoretical formulation being the principle of mimesis in Aristotle's Poetics. Realism can be considered by extension one of the main aspects of literary theory, the aims of which must be to define its concepts clearly and to neutralize the imprecision, polysemy, and ambiguity that often characterized the application of realism. This book explores the possibilities and limits of a concept of realism that seeks a point of equilibrium between the principle of the autonomy of the literary work vis-a-vis reality and the complex relations that the work clearly establishes with this reality. It acknowledges that it is a personal response to the poststructuralist crisis in literary theory. By concentrating on the study of the literary work of art as a verbal construction, the great Continental and Anglo-American tradition of formalism and New Criticism has ended up neglecting the second, mimetic aspect of the literary problematic, thus dissociating literature from life.

In Einzeluntersuchungen, Längs- und Querschnitten entsteht ein für die deutsche, englische und französische Literatur tragfähiger Begriff des literarischen Realismus im 19. Jahrhundert. Neben den genannten Autoren werden ausführlich auch Flaubert, George Eliot und Fontane einbezogen. Abgrenzungen ergeben sich einerseits etwa zu Goethe, andererseits v.a. zu Zola und zur literarischen Moderne. Der theoretische Teil der Untersuchung ist an der pragmatischen Erkenntnistheorie orientiert, die in vielen Traditionen 'von Kant zu Peirce' führt und deren zentrale Begriffe sich als literarisch fruchtbar erweisen. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung steht eine Interpretation des "Grünen Heinrich" in vergleichender Perspektive; den immer neuen Erzählstrukturen und Wirklichkeitsentwürfen, die Keller für seine Geschichte erprobte, lassen sich jeweils Beispiele aus der europäischen Literatur zuordnen: von K. Ph. Moritz über den jungen Flaubert, Charlotte Brontë, die Goncourt und andere, bis zu Joyce und Proust. Die Untersuchung arbeitet eng an den Texten und enthält insbesondere in den mehr theoretischen Teilen viele anschauliche Beispiele. Alle Kapitel sind so geschrieben, daß sie jeweils auch für sich gelesen werden können.
