Topic 1―American Realism
1. Definition of Realism ◆ Term applied to literary composition that aims to an interpretation of the actualities of any aspects of life, free from subjective prejudice, idealism, or romantic color. ◆ In art and literature, Realism refers to an attempt to describe human behavior and surroundings or to represent figures exactly as they act or appear in life. Realism emerged as a literary movement in Europe in the 1850s. In reaction to Romanticism, realistic writers should set down their observations impartially and objectively. They insisted on accurate documentation, sociological insight, and avoidance of poetic diction and idealization. The subjects were to be taken from everyday life, preferably from lower-class life. Realism entered American literature after the Civil War.
