Notes de l'éditeur
- In the visual arts and literature, realism is a mid- 19th century movement, which started in France . In response to growing positivism after the French Revolution and greater optimism that humans could understand the world through science, philosophy and the arts, the realists sought to render everyday characters, situations, dilemmas, and events in an " accurate " (or realistic) manner. This is in contrast with the earlier romanticism , in which subjects were treated idealistically . Realists tended to discard theatrical drama and classical forms of art to depict commonplace or 'realistic' themes.

- Writers of the South told of swamps where the cypress grew out the green-scummed water and the moss grew down into it, and of the cities where the obsessive blood-consciousness of its inhabitants testified to the mingling of the races. Mid-western authors narrated the tales of the plains where a man could be lost in the dust or ruined by hailstorm; of cities where where fortunes were made or lost in a day's trading on the beef or grain exchanges. The literary map of America, so long a small corner of light in the east, with a glimmer on the southern coast, began to be totally illuminated.
- The philosophy of Realism is known as "descendental" or non-transcendental. The purpose of writing is to instruct and to entertain. Realists were pragmatic, relativistic, democratic, and experimental. The subject matter of Realism is drawn from "our experience," - it treated the common, the average, the non-extreme, the representative, the probable. The morality of Realism is intrinsic, integral, relativistic - relations between people and society are explored. The style of Realism is the vehicle which carries realistic philosophy, subject matter, and morality. Emphasis is placed upon scenic presentation, de-emphasizing authorial comment and evaluation. There is an objection towards the omniscient point of view.
- Complexity – differing experiences and understandings – maybe even socialization Muliplicity – more than one perspective – we see the same problem from different viewpoints – there is not one “right” way anymore
