Literary Impressionism is influenced by the European Impressionist art movement; as such, many writers adopted a style that relied on associations. The DutchTachtigers 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, its chief exponents being Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Rimbaud, Verlaine and Laforgue, and the Imagists. 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.[1][2][3]
Impressionistic literature can be simply defined as when an author centers their story or attention on the character's mental life (such as the character's impressions, feelings, sensations and emotions) rather than trying to interpret them. Authors such as Virginia Woolf (Mrs Dalloway) and Joseph Conrad (Heart of Darkness and "The Lagoon") are among the foremost creators of the form. These novels have been said to be the finest examples of a genre which is not easily comprehensible.[4]
People wore me down. I’m tired of being an inn for those screaming, fussing and littering creatures. Open the windows! Let the fresh air in! Take out the trash together with those who leave it. Let cleanness and peace fill the house.
— Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky, "Intermezzo" (1908)
In Ukrainian literature, Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky marked himself off with his short prose. In the novel Intermezzo the narrator goes to the countryside to "escape from the iron hand of the city" and spiritually recovers in nature. As in his play, Kotsiubynsky identifies a number of characters: my fatigue, the fields in June, the sun, three white sheepdogs, the cuckoo, the larks, the iron hand of the city, the human grief, and the narrator's soul, which appears to be a some kind of a stage filled with pains and joys, fatigue and hope.
The term is used to describe a work of literature characterized by the selection of a few details to convey the sense impressions left by an incident or scene. This style of writing occurs when characters, scenes, or actions are portrayed from a subjective point of view of reality.[3]
