The 19
th
century in England gave rise to a rapid growth of social contradictions.
These contradictions found their reflection in literature , too. The representatives of the first
trend continued the realistic traditions of their predecessors. It was represented by such
writers as George Eliot , George Meredith , Samuel Butler , Thomas Hardy. These novelists
gave a truthful picture of contemporary society. 
The writers of the second trend by way of protest against severe reality tried to
lead the reader away from life into the world of dreams and fantasy , into the realm of
beauty. The decadent art , appreciated the outer from of art more than the content. 
The writers saw the vices of the bourgeois world , and in some of their works we
find a truthful and critical description of contemporary life , on the whole their inner world
lacks depth. 
The decadent writers created their own cult of beauty and proclaimed the theory of
“ pure art ” ; their motto was “ art for art’s sake ”.
The end of the 19
th
century also created writers who were interested in human
society as a whole , and a new type of writer who was preoccupied with the future of
mankind.
