Lukács’s anti-modernist realism bias descends from Hegelian historicism

Evidence

The reader will recognize in this passage that characteristic hostility toward modernism and what we have come to call stylization, that instinctive bias toward the realistic work, which was later to be worked out only too programmatically by Lukács; he will also, perhaps, in the present context, glimpse the Hegelian origins of such a value judgment, in which the return to symbolic modes is felt to be a historical regression. — Fredric Jameson, Marxism and Form, 682
