in-movement

In movement places a literary work inside the larger current of writing it belongs to. Wikipedia notes Austen's novels, Pride and Prejudice among them, "are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism," a movement away from the sentimental fiction that came before. This dimension groups works that share the same literary movement.
