Reviews for Realism as Resistance
'. . . el libro de DuPont estimulará al estudiante de novela española a reevaluar la novela decimonónica con la riqueza interpretativa de las teorías del siglo veinte, en el campo de la semiótica, la deconstrucción y los estudiosde género y la revisión historicista. Es pues una obra loable y estimuladora a imitar.''''
