{{Main|Impressionism (literature)}}

The term Impressionism has also been used to describe works of literature in which a few select details suffice to convey the sensory impressions of an incident or scene. Impressionist literature is closely related to [[Symbolism (arts)|Symbolism]], with its major exemplars being [[Charles Baudelaire|Baudelaire]], [[Stéphane Mallarmé|Mallarmé]], [[Arthur Rimbaud|Rimbaud]], and [[Paul Verlaine|Verlaine]]. Authors such as [[Virginia Woolf]], [[D.H. Lawrence]], [[Henry James]], and [[Joseph Conrad]] have written works that are Impressionistic in the way that they describe, rather than interpret, the impressions, sensations and emotions that constitute a character's mental life. Some literary scholars, such as John G. Peters, believe literary Impressionism is better defined by its philosophical stance than by any supposed relationship with Impressionist painting.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Berrong |first=Richard M. |date=2006-06-01 |title=Modes of Literary Impressionism |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/00166928-39-2-203 |journal=Genre |volume=39 |issue=2 |pages=203–228 |doi=10.1215/00166928-39-2-203 |issn=0016-6928}}</ref>
