Etymology

The term 'ruralism' originates from the Latin word 'ruralis', meaning 'of the countryside', combined with the suffix '-ism' used to denote a system or doctrine. It first appeared in the English language during the 19th century, corresponding with the rise of romanticism, where artists and writers began to idealize rural life as simpler and purer than urban existence. The industrial revolution had led to a growing disparity between rural and urban experiences, prompting a cultural response that celebrated the values and lifestyle of the countryside. Over time, ruralism evolved to encompass not only a nostalgic view of rural life but also a critical perspective on the socio-economic issues facing rural communities in contemporary society. By the 20th century, ruralism found its way into various art movements, literary genres, and social movements, reinforcing its significance as a counter-narrative to urban modernity.
