Abstract: My paper is entitled ''Body and Soal: Realism and the Ideal" and by this I would simply affirm as others have before me that although an artist deals with the materials of his social milieu, his relation to his time and place is subordinate to his citizenship in the society of Everyman. Through the medium of a particular society in a particular period of history he confronts anew the universal problems of human existence. In my paper I discuss each major writer of the nineteenth century in Russia individually in an attempt to understand his view of reality and of his society, and note the common ideas running throughout the period. Some of the writers are quite expressive of the spirit of the times while others are more individualistic. A number of central themes appear in varying form in all of the writers studied.
