CrashCourse
This week, we’re back in Europe to learn about Realism and Naturalism. In the 19th Century, playwrights like Eugene Scribe, Alexandre de Dumas Fils, and Emile Zola remade the French theater, first with Realism, and later with Naturalism. What are those things? Watch and learn.

I am taking a college drama history class and this series has been so helpful to study to prepare for my first exam. Thank you guys for putting out such awesome, and entertaining content!
Hi guys, if u read this, please recommend me with a book about English movements
Yall always come thru for me when I have tests and haven't studied!
Fantastique 👍 !
This was so informative. I’ve been looking for a video like this for ages, thanks for making it!
realism and naturalism are completely different concepts and the reason people refuse to use certain words and labels and i understand people been trying to change the meaning of certain words and labels and another reason my preferred tongue is not English and realism is a preference to not embracing a fiction and the reason my tribe preference to exchange information in a tongue other then English and sometime refuse to teach or allow their children to speak English until older and will cause less problem with parent child communication and the reason for hours of home schooling each day when forced to use a public school and their taught the home schooling is more important then the public schooling and much of what is taught is not provided in the public school system anyway and this includes the game of races,culture and different types of apprenticeships but go-head and do what you want i am not your master nor your kin nor do i have any desire to do your thinking for you nor will i teach you what to think or how to think.
French lit student here…
1) I’ve read half of Zola’s novels, so I am a fan. But he had a tendency to melancholy and melodrama.
Thérèse Raquin is too over the top for me, but it does symbolize the time. Until Feydeau, melodrama was popular. And don’t forget that many plays were adaptations of novels. Successful novels were both serialized and adapted to the theatre.
2) jp15151: since I speak with a Québécois accent, my pronunciation of Raquin would make a Parisian hurt too. So no worries! 😉
Amazing series and episode but the pronunciation of many French words leaves a lot to be desired and it is a bit distracting.
3:26 I'm pretty sure Hugo specifically DIDN'T hire people to come and applaud Hernani. From what I heard, it was the exact opposite. The convention at the time was that the theatre would hire professional applauders called the "claque" to clap and show their appreciation for the show in order to boost its popularity. But when Hernani came out, most of the claque refused to work for Hernani since they considered it below their dignity or whatever, so Hugo had to ask his friends and allies to replace them and to keep coming in as the neoclassicists were bringing in their people to boo and laugh at the piece. (Of course this whole scandal helped the play enormously.)

Ugh, here in Italy Naturalism inspired Verism, with Giovanni Verga.
Not very happy go lucky either
6:05 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, the Lady of Camelias!
Anybody else remembers Gigi Proietti's breathtaking performance?
i truly adore this dude please let us see him in the future episode
Omg your doing crash courses! Oxox I just haven't watched a video of yours in so long I missed you. Glad I'm re visiting this channel
tnx a lot. it's really benefit
5:10 (Someone needs to tell Mike what grammar really is)
Theater AND History of Science got to Darwin in the same week! Excellent timing, Crash Course.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a series "History of Literature", not book by book as you do, but period by period or movement by movement, like this.
Love your educational videos if you ever need a Volunteer Ambassador to share your videos please let me know.
Please do different kind of theatres.
shout out to those closed captions for spelling "Hernani" as "Air Nanny"–would make for a very different play, I'm sure.
I don’t know if you have done this yet, but I would love to see a series on art history!
Absolutely superb series. Thanks for all the hard work, folks.
This is really interesting, thanks :).
J'accuse
You guys never mention Brazilian authors like Machado de Assis, an amazing naturalist. You guys would be impressed.
Love this series. Keep up the good work!
Omg I didn't know this sort of crash course existed 😍
I'm so sad, this channel is dying
Tfw History of Theater works its way up to Darwin before History of Science does.
And suddenly I understood perfectly what they tried to teach me in school. I want to more of this knowledge
There is a Korean Vampire film adaptation of the Emile Zola play that is really really great! (It’s called Thirst) I will now have to check out the original source material 🙂 Thanks Crash Course!
Allons-y indeed! Any other Whovians here?
Soooo I’m kind late to this channel anyone mind explaining what happened to John green and crash course world history?
On est champion
It hurt everytime you tried to say "Raquin".
Dang Thérèse is very Macbethian
I don't think one can really describe naturalism as being "more real" than realism. You say yourself that Zola see naturalism as a laboratory of hypothesis, but hypothesis are rooted in imagination (derived from truth); it's not what you know would happen, it's what you THINK would happen. Deleuze described Zola and naturalism as taking real places, real world, but spinning them out until they become original, reaching passions and pulsions inside real people. "Study temperaments and not characters."
Like a colleague once said, if you can think of anything of note about the 18th century, there's Zola novel about it.
I'm subscribed, these kind of videos don't show up on my youtube landing page, instead bunch of recommended garbage
Fascinating series.When is the next episode released?
Not hating, but I miss John Green
Nowadays Zola is a French rapper
It's Alexandre Dumas not de Dumas
Each volume surpasses the previous and your work is supreme, as always, sir! Now if only you could get the hang of French pronunciation…yeesh. Perhaps one of the crew has enough to walk you through?Lol, but no, really dude.
The timing of this video is just PERFECT for me! I have an MA Drama course exam tomorrow, which includes a Naturalistic play which is Miss Julie. So, thank YOU! 🌺
Ik allons-y is just French for let’s go, but it’ll always be a DW reference for me
Was Hector Salamanca from Breaking Bad was based on the Aunt?
