Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is incorrect. Realism first emerged as a literary and artistic movement in Europe in the mid-19th century and continued to develop and influence cultural production throughout the latter half of the century. While other movements, such as Romanticism and Modernism, also emerged during this time, realism did not dissipate as a significant intellectual and stylistic force.
