About this title: Auerbach traces the representation of reality with well-developed readings of major writers in Western literature from antiquity to the 20th century. His analysis of the development of realism in Stendahl, Balzac, Flaubert and Proust is especially worth noting. He ends his book with Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse".

"This ain't bathroom reading, but for the emerging literary scholar it's a must-read. Much subsequent literary scholarship, particularly Continental poststructuralism, is indebted to Auerbach's analysis."
"I was terrified to start this book. Rebecca, my older sister, said it would probably be the hardest read of Western Lit for me.
However, I love it! It's fascinating. Fantastic. An immediate five stars.
I actually thought it was a lot easier to understand than The Iliad (bleh!). I think, out of the two lit classes I'm taking, this is my favorite read so far (closely followed by Oedipus Rex and The Odyssey)."
