Document Summary
The goncourt prothers (edmund and jules de goncourt) Developed his style of naturalism in his series of 20 novels (20 novels in 22 years) Does a lot of research and they are very detailed. These books were serialized, put in newspapers and magazines: this was a common way of publishing. Naturalism deals with the present moment (historical to us) Deals with everyday life, very dramatic stories. Deals with a lot of social events. Content deals with regular people like us. Same kind of arguments we see in painting we see in literature. Those who were on the side of realism, they believed it was important. In 19th century we see a lot of critics and literature because it was a truthful representation of reality. Those who were against realism they thought literature should appeal to higher ideals and morals. They criticized those writes for appealing to the basis of emotions. Main concern is what should art/literature be.
