Émile Zola at His Desk
French writer Émile Zola developed the literary theory known as naturalism, which advocated scientific objectivity in the portrayal of human character and behavior. Naturalists rejected the idea of free will and instead saw human beings as controlled by instinct, emotion, and social and economic forces.
