Art and Realism in Rebecca Harding Davis's "Life in the Iron Mills" This 5-page undergraduate paper compares the themes of realism and art in Rebecca Harding Davis's "Life in the Iron Mills", arguing that Deb and Hugh are symbolic characters and that Davis's work breaks down the traditional boundaries between art and realism somewhat by suggesting that realism has supplanted the more traditional understanding of art as a way of seeing the world.
