In the beginning of 1865-1914 there were believed to be two major concepts involved in authors writing. The two major conceptions of this era were understood to be “naturalism” and “realism”. Individually, these notions served a great value in the way the authors would both compose and express their stories. “Realism and Naturalism” can be found in the works of Henry James, Stephen Crane, and Jack London as well as many others. One of the more prominent works of realism include Henry James’s “Daisy Miller”. Naturalist works consist of Stephen Crane’s “The Open Boat”, and Jack London’s “To Build a Fire.” Realism was more entwined with the romantic period while naturalism concentrated more on elements.
