Impressionism (literature): Difference between revisions

{{Original research|date=October 2011}}

Influenced by the European [[Impressionism|Impressionist]] art movement, many writers adopted a style that relied on associations. The [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[Nineteenth-century Dutch literature#The Movement of 1880|Tachtigers]] explicitly tried to incorporate impressionism into their prose, poems, and other literary works. Much of what has been called "impressionist" literature is subsumed into several other categories, especially [[Symbolism (arts)|Symbolism]], its chief exponents being [[Charles Baudelaire|Baudelaire]], [[Stéphane Mallarmé|Mallarmé]], [[Arthur Rimbaud|Rimbaud]], [[Paul Verlaine|Verlaine]] and [[Jules Laforgue|Laforgue]]. It focuses on a particular character's perception of events. The edges of reality are blurred by choosing points of view that lie outside the norm.
