- Abstract
Modern science of literature recognizes the need for update of the theory of realism and review of its specific development in different historical eras. It is important to take into account the modern discourse of realism, which can give impulses for further study of the realist literature. It is possible to have a new look at the classical heritage – realism of the 19th century, go beyond the traditional theoretical formulas and stereotypes in its perception. The heyday of realism in literature and art of the 19th century was prepared by development of the mimetic trends in the preceding epochs. Formation of the classical model of realism was accompanied by the intense search for ways of artistic reflection of life.

This experience proved to be productive for the future of realism, determined its flexibility and resilience in the struggle with modernism
