In the essays that follow, international scholars employ a variety of theories and methodologies to analyse her work, including narrative theory, cultural criticism, feminist analysis, psychoanalytic approaches, tropological explication, theories of authorship, and ficto-criticism, demonstrating that Shields's writing represents a genuine revision of literary realism in which the ordinary is subject to contemplation, not just celebration.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queens University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127832101104,"sku":"9780773560307","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780773560307_p0.jpg?v=1763662778","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780773560307","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
