Chapter I Introduction
1.1 Alison Lurie and Her Works
Alison Lurie(1926-2020),Professor of English Literature at Cornell University,was an American academic novelist,writer of children’s stories,and critic.She isamong the most widely published and celebrated authors in the Department ofLiteratures in English,where she taught literature,folklore,humor,and writing fornearly four decades.Her many honors included Guggenheim and RockefellerFoundation grants,the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Fiction,and aD.Lit.from Oxford University.Most of her works are descriptions of post-war life inthe United States,focusing on middle-class American society and a more in-depth anddetailed exploration of the world of intellectuals’lives.
Born on September 3,1926,in Chicago,the second largest city in the UnitedStates,Alison Lurie moved with her family to New York City when she was fouryears old and later grew up in White Plains,a small town on the outskirts of that city.Her father was a sociologist and a founder of the Council of Jewish Federations andWelfare Funds.Her mother edited the book and magazine sections of the Detroit FreePress before her marriage.Moreover,she was well home-schooled from an early age.She inherited from her father an attitude toward social analysis and satire and fromher mother an intense curiosity and a habit of observing the lives of others.Beginningin 1943,Lurie attended Radcliffe College,majoring in English history and literature,and after graduation,worked as an assistant publisher’s editor in New York City.OnSeptember 10,1948,she married her first husband,Harvard Ph.D.and eventualCornell Professor Jonathan Bishop,a literary critic,poet,and author of books onphilosophy and religion.She later followed him to Cambridge,Massachusetts,where,in 1957,she and her husband moved to the western city of Los Angeles with their twochildren.She arrived at Cornell with Professor Bishop in 1961.
Chapter III Neo-realistic Characterization inThe War Between the Tates and Foreign Affairs
3.1 Combination of the Character’s External Reality andInternal Reality
In the 19th century,American realistic novels followed the principle of typicalcharacters in typical environments in characterization.It focused on reflecting thechanges such as fate and traits of specific characters in specific social environments.“Realism,to my mind,implies,besides truth of detail,the truthful reproduction oftypical characters under typical circumstances”(Marx and Engels 379).Americanneo-realistic novels have achieved transcendence,which is mainly manifested in thefact that American neo-realistic novels incorporate some of the characterizationmethods of traditional realistic novels,modernistic novels and post-modernisticnovels.And they ultimately created fictional characters characterized by bothinteriority and exteriority,underscoring the creative direction of contemporaryAmerican fiction since the 1970s.This kind of characterization is the most crucialfactor in the creation of American novels in the past few years.Characters with thesecharacteristics can also be found in Lurie’s neo-realistic novels,The War Between the Tates and Foreign Affairs.In these novels,readers can see the three-dimensionalcharacters,such as Vinnie,Fred Turner,and Brian Tate.
Chapter IV Neo-realistic Artistic Characteristics inThe War Between the Tates and Foreign Affairs
4.1 Inheritance of Traditional Artistic Characteristics
Neo-realism continues the core principles of traditional realism by employingrealistic writing approaches to attain authenticity,while also incorporating elementsfrom modernism and post-modernism.As Malcolm Bradbury pointed out,the flash ofrealism is a reconstruction of post-modernism and favored again,“these have been thetime of photo-realism and hyper realism,magic realism and fantastic realism,documentary realism and drama-doc realism…and,of course…neo-realism”(Bradbury 23).Lurie adopts such writing techniques as integrity of the plot and grandnarrative in the creation of these two novels,The War Between the Tates and ForeignAffairs,so both of her novels showed the charm of the traditional realistic narrativefeatures in the plot.
4.2 Renewal of Artistic Characteristics in Neo-realism
American neo-realistic novels inherit the traditional artistic characteristics ofreproducing and imitating reality in traditional realistic novels.However,according tothe diverse social and historical stages and the settings in which the novel is generated,American neo-realistic novels depict real events,contrasting with traditional realisticnovels that focus solely on narrating plots.They are more epochal in characteristicsbecause they have not fully distanced themselves from other genres like experimentalnovels,nonfiction,and metafiction during the post-modernistic period.It can be saidthat American neo-realistic novels combine the features of traditional realistic novelsin portraying reality and the creative strategies of post-modernistic novels.Theseinnovative artistic characteristics of neo-realistic novels make them“new”realisticnovels.In Lurie’s neo-realistic novels,The War Between the Tates and Foreign Affairs,she made an innovation in writing techniques.Certain creative features ofpost-modernistic novels are integrated to reproduce American social reality.Theapplication of artistic techniques in the process of recounting the events of the novelsis emphasized so that the novels present a very abundant and diversified artisticaesthetics.
Chapter V Conclusion
American neo-realistic novels were created by a group of post-war novelists withrealistic creative tendencies.They combined traditional realistic writing techniqueswith non-realistic artistic techniques such as absurdity,subconsciousness,and streamof consciousness,which existed in modernistic novels.And while reflecting on reallife,more ink is used to pay attention to the spiritual life and human psychologicaldescription.At the same time,neo-realistic novels also incorporate the artisticcharacteristics of post-modernistic novels.Neo-realistic novels alternate the artisticcharacteristics and creative techniques of realistic novels,modernistic novels,andpost-modernist novels.Then they create a whole new sense of realism.Alison Lurie’snovels,The War Between the Tates and Foreign Affairs,are categorized asneo-realistic novels precisely because of their realistic,modernistic,andpost-modernistic creation features.Lurie changes the traditional creative mode anduses a combination of traditional,modern,and post-modern writing techniques todepict the enormous pressures that post-war American society puts on thecontemporary American people in The War Between the Tates and Foreign Affairs,aswell as their deep-seated dilemmas.
