Book Review | Azure Daydreams | The Literature Today

Literary realism allowed for a new form of writing in which authors represented reality by portraying everyday experiences of relatable and complex characters, as they are in real life Literary realism depicts works with relatable and familiar characters, settings, and plots centred around society’s middle and lower classes.
