The 19th century was a period of exceptional literary richness and diversity across Europe. Romanticism, with its exaltation of feelings and imagination, found emblematic figures such as Victor Hugo in France and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Germany. Realism, seeking to depict society objectively, was embodied in the works of Gustave Flaubert in France, Leo Tolstoy in Russia, and Charles Dickens in England. Later, naturalism deepened this approach with authors like Émile Zola in France. Movements such as symbolism, with Charles Baudelaire and Arthur Rimbaud in France, and decadence also emerged, opening new avenues for artistic expression.
