This paper argues that the rise of the realist novel in England in the eighteenth century can be viewed as a function of the rise and consolidation of a metropolitan economy based on money relations. The insights of the early German sociologist Georg Simmel show us how the category of the real in the early modern period relies on the greater objectivity of the calculating intellect but also on the depth and particularity of the unique and isolated subjectivity of the modern individual. The realistic method and the real subject become so within the context of a metropolitan modernity based on an advanced money economy. Simmel's work provides a rich explanatory context which allows us to understand both the preponderance of objective modes of representation and the formation of new kinds of private subjective experience in the novel.
Abstract
This paper argues that the rise of the realist novel in England in the eighteenth century can be viewed as a function of the rise and consolidation of a metropolitan economy based on money relations. The insights of the early German sociologist Georg Simmel show us how the category of the real in the early modern period relies on the greater objectivity of the calculating intellect but also on the depth and particularity of the unique and isolated subjectivity of the modern individual. The realistic method and the real subject become so within the context of a metropolitan modernity based on an advanced money economy. Simmel's work provides a rich explanatory context which allows us to understand both the preponderance of objective modes of representation and the formation of new kinds of private subjective experience in the novel.
