Book Review: Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature
Summary: 4 Stars
Although Auerbach wrote Mimesis 50 years ago, and a great deal of research has been produced since then, his book is still a masterwork, and provides many valuable insights for a range of texts. I highly recommend this book.
