American Literary Realism and the Failed Promise of Contract
Univ of California Press (1997)
Abstract
"Moving expertly from legal analysis to social history to profoundly recontextualized literary critique, Thomas shows how writers like Twain, James, Howells, and Chopin took up contract as a model, formally and thematically evoking its possibilities and dramatizing its failures.
