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.

Henry James
Henry James
More important for his work overall may have been his position as an expatriate, and in other ways an outsider, living in Europe. While he came from middle-class and provincial belongings (seen from the perspective of European polite society) he worked very hard to gain access to all levels of society, and the settings of his fiction range from working class to aristocratic, and often describe the efforts of middle-class Americans to make their way in European capitals.

Henry James

While he was a dedicated observer of human beings in society, James was a socially distant man who formed few close friendships.
• He never married and openly claimed to practice celibacy. Perhaps this gave him time to write: in four decades of his writing career, he produced nearly 100 books, including such classics as The Golden Bowl,The Wings of the Dove, and the immortal ghost story "The Turn of the Screw.
Throughout his career, James earned criticism for the slow pacing and uneventful plotting of his novels, as well as for his elliptical technique, in which many of a work's important scenes are not narrated, but only implied by later scenes.
Henry James (1843-1916) Henry James is the first American writer to conceive his career in international terms. Partly because his intricate style and choice of cultivated characters ran counter to the dominant vernacular tradition initiated by Mark Twain, James attracted, in his life time, only a select company of admirers.
