| Summary |
"Le Naturalisme" by Emilia Pardo Bazán is a series of literary essays written in the late 19th century. This work discusses the emergence and implications of naturalism in literature, with a particular focus on its differentiation from romanticism and classicism. Pardo Bazán explores themes such as determinism, free will, and the moral implications of naturalistic writing, positioning herself as a prominent figure in the Catholic Naturalist movement. The opening of "Le Naturalisme" introduces the author's intent and the motivations behind presenting her ideas to a French audience. It begins with a preface explaining the significance of understanding the foreign perspective on a literary movement that originated in France. Pardo Bazán emphasizes the need for clarity regarding the often-misunderstood concepts of naturalism and realism, arguing that true naturalism encompasses deeper psychological and moral considerations than mere sensationalism. She lays the foundation for her argument by referencing influential literary figures and discussing the historical context that shaped her perspective as a member of the emerging naturalist movement.
