Literary trends at the end of the 19 century---Naturalism; Neo-
Romanticism; Aestheticism; Thomas Hardy
Naturalism---literature must be true to life, and exactly reproduce real

Neo-romanticism---Dissatisfied with the drab and ugly social reality and
yet trying to avoid the positive solution of the acute social
contradictions, the writers laid emphasis on the invention of exciting
adventures and fascinating stories. They led the novel back to story-
telling and romance; Robert Stevenson was a representative with
“Treasure Island” and “Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”
Aestheticism---theory of art-for-art’s sake, art should serve no religious,
moral or social end, nor any end except itself; Oscar Wilde and Walter
