Word origin
The term 'naturalism' originated in the late 19th century as a literary movement that emerged in response to romanticism. Naturalist writers sought to portray life as it truly was, often focusing on the darker aspects of society. The movement was influenced by scientific theories of the time, particularly Darwinism. Naturalism remains a significant literary genre, known for its stark realism and unflinching portrayal of human existence.
