INTRODUCTION Literature plays an integral part in culture of any country. It reflects people’s feelings, some historical events and most of the problems of the society. Sometimes literature can even provide ways how to solve those problems.
Britain had a lot of talented writers in the 19th and the 20th centuries, who are now well-known all around the world. They had a great influence on the development of the British literature and on the British culture itself. Many of their works became classic not only for Britain, but for the whole world.
At that time life became much more different than it used to be. Scientific and technological progress and economical and political changes were the reason for new realities to appear. And those were reflected and analysed in literature. It was the period when some new trends turned up. They were very different from the classic era, which had been the most common for many years before.
Literature of the 19th century refers to world literature produced during the 19th century. The range of years is, for the purpose of this article, literature written from (roughly) 1799 to 1900. Many of the developments in literature in this period parallel changes in the visual arts and other aspects of 19th-century culture. Literary realism is the trend, beginning with mid nineteenth-century French literature and extending to late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century authors, toward depictions of contemporary life and society as it was, or is. In the spirit of general "realism," realist authors opted for depictions of everyday and banal activities and experiences, instead of a romanticized or similarly stylized presentation
George Eliot's novel Middlemarch stands as a great milestone in the realist tradition. It is a primary example of nineteenth-century realism's role in the naturalization of the burgeoning capitalist marketplace.
William Dean Howells was the first American author to bring a realist aesthetic to the literature of the United States. His stories of 1850s Boston upper-crust life are highly regarded among scholars of American fiction. His most popular novel, The Rise of Silas Lapham, depicts a man who falls from materialistic fortune by his own mistakes. Stephen Crane has also been recognized as illustrating important aspects of realism to American fiction in the stories Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and The Open Boat.
