520			_a"Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature - 4. Naturalism in England" by George Brandes is a critical literary analysis written in the early 20th century. This work explores the emergence of Naturalism in English literature during the 19th century, discussing how this movement influenced various authors and literary works of the period. Brandes examines the transition from classical forms to a literature that emphasizes realism and the representation of nature and society, reflecting the broader currents of political and social change. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the Naturalistic movement in England, highlighting the universal characteristics shared across European literature during this time. Brandes indicates that this literary shift arose partly as a reaction against the prevailing classical ideals influenced by the Enlightenment. He emphasizes how political events, such as the war with France and the social upheavals caused by the industrial revolution, contributed to a renewed focus on individual experience and the natural world. Notably, the text introduces key figures such as Wordsworth and Coleridge, who sought to rupture with the literary conventions of the 18th century, paving the way for a new embrace of nature and the ‘common’ subject in poetry, thereby establishing the foundations of Naturalism in English literature.
