Nancy Rubin Stuart
“By the late 1840s, anticipation of a better life and the concept of 'progress' had become an American touchstone, a national expectation.”
Nancy Rubin Stuart , The Reluctant Spiritualist: A Life of Maggie Fox

D.S. Mirsky
“Russian realism was born in the second half of the forties. ... In substance it is a cross between the satirical naturalism of Gogol and an older sentimentalism revived and represented in the thirties and forties by the then enormously influential George Sand. Gogol and George Sand were the father and mother of Russian realism and its accepted masters during the initial stages.”
D.S. Mirsky, A History of Russian Literature: From Its Beginnings to 1900
