With particular reference to nineteenth-century French culture, the contributors explore the role realism has played in the social construction of gender and sexuality. Among their subjects are nineteenth-century physiologies, photographs, caricatures, and Balzac's Comedie humaine, the ethnographic claims of the Goncourts' naturalism and the historical claims of Zola's, and the allure of exotica displayed at new museums and international expositions.
