    • Abstract:
      Focuses on the English use of the word realism. View that the word is in harmony with the philosophic doctrine in which the term originated; View that its essence is belief in an unseen universe which gives significance to the actual world of human consciousness; Views on the differences between realism and naturalism; Report that in both England and France, the rise of modern realism is closely connected with the emergence of the middle class; View that the impression of timidity and hypocrisy which English realism makes is strengthened by its acceptance of restrictions of subject matter and treatment imposed by ethics rather than art; Information on views of several realists and naturalists in England and France and their works.
