| Summary: | The most famous statement associated with the idea of literary impressionism is Joseph Conrad's from the Preface to The Nigger of the "Narcissus" (1897): "My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make to feel - it is, before all, to make you see! That - and no more: and it is everything!" What exactly Conrad meant by "make you see" has, of course always been a question, but all commentators have been agreed that it chiefly concerned with making the reader visualize the scenes narrated by the writer. This book argues that what is distinctive about English-language literary impressionism - a movement or tendency the author locates chronologically between 1890 and 1914 - is not only the desire to make the reader see but also, crucially, what it is the reader is to be made to see. The authors treated in this study include Stephen Crane, Joseph Conrad (four of whose novels are analyzed in detail), Frank Norris, W. H. Hudson, Ford Madox Ford, H. G. Wells, Jack London, Rudyard Kipling, Erskine Childers, R. B. Cunninghame Graham, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Robert Louis Stevenson.... |

“My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the
power of the written word, to make you hear,
to make you feel—it is, before all, to make you
see] That—and no more: and it is everything!”
So wrote Joseph Conrad in the best-known
account of literary impressionism, the late nine-
teenth- and early twentieth-century movement
featuring narratives that paint pictures in read-
ers’ minds. If literary impressionism is anything,
it is the project to turn prose into vision.
But vision of what? Michael Fried demon-
strates that the impressionists sought to com-
pel readers not only to see what was described
and narrated but also to see writing itself. Fried
reads Conrad, Stephen Crane, Frank Norris, W.
H. Hudson, Ford Madox Ford, H. G. Wells, Jack
London, Rudyard Kipling, Erskine Childers, R.
B. Cunninghame Graham, and Edgar Rice Bur-
roughs as avatars of the scene of writing. The
upward-facing page, pen and ink, the look of
written script, and the act of inscription are
central to their work. These authors confront
us with the sheer materiality of writing, albeit
disguised and displaced so as to allow their nan
ratives to proceed to their ostensible ends.
What Was Literary Impressionism? radically
reframes a large body of important writing.
One of the major art historians and art critics
of his generation, Fried turns to the novel and
produces a rare work of insight and erudition
that transforms our understanding of some of
the most challenging fiction in the English lan-
guage.
