During the period of 1865 to 1912, American society was being pushed and pulled by a variety of social forces and trends. These forces and trends are reflected in the literature of the period in many ways. For example:<\/p>\n

\n
• They influenced the writings of the major authors, who often commented on them directly.<\/li>\n
• Major literary movements such as Realism and Naturalism emerged, partially in response to the Romantic movement, and partially as part of a larger, international movement in the arts emphasizing the importance of portraying the world realistically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  These movements actively theorized about how best to represent these social changes in literature and what things a writer should include in works to make them realistic.<\/p>\n

  • Describe the major literary movements of the period.<\/li>\n
  • Explain how Realism and Naturalism influenced the literature of the period and how these movements responded to your selected social forces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Illustrate <\/strong>your points using examples from at least three of the period’s major writers and their major works.As you complete these tasks, you might consider the following aspects of literary works: (Not all of these will apply to all works: please apply this list only where it is useful.)<\/p>\n

    \n
    • Style: How do the styles used by your chosen authors relate to either the period movement toward realism? How do their styles relate to your chosen social movement?<\/li>\n
    • Departure from Realism: Some authors blend realism in one area with an intentional lack of realism in others. How do these departures from strict realism relate?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
