Abstract:
This paper aims at coming to grips with the landscape of realism as reflected in the works of Nadine Gordimer. Gordimer was a well-known South African novelist who waged a lone battle against apartheid practices in South Africa. Through the study of Burger's Daughter-one of the finest novels of Gordimer-- the paper makes an attempt to foreground social realism used in order to highlight the seminal issues of her time. Gordimer has used the techniques of narration and multiple voices in the novel to realistically portray and foreground the problems that the subjugated natives of South Africa faced.
