Abstract
Realism has not only shaped important schools and periods in the evolution of world literature but has also constituted a basic constant in all literary art since the formulation of the principle of mimesis in the Poetics of Aristotle. In this sense, it has become one of the central concepts of literary theory, one deserving clear definition of its conceptual limits. When theorists have risen to the task of correcting the imprecision, polysemy, and ambiguity with which the realist principle is applied, their efforts have often been opposed.
