用法筆記
Verism is a specialized term found mainly in academic discussions of art, music, and literature. In opera criticism, it refers specifically to the late-19th-century Italian verismo movement (works by Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Puccini, and others). Outside of opera, the word is often used interchangeably with 'extreme realism' but carries a stronger connotation of raw, unglamorous subject matter.
