Abstract: What was the importance of Ivan Turgenev's presence in the Societe des Cinq? This study focuses on ideas of social change and social reform, which Edmond de Goncourt, Flaubert, Zola, and Daudet possessed in common with Turgenev, and expressed in their novels. The method of inquiry begins with the creation and development of a Scythian character in Turgenev's later novels of contemporary life, and continues with an examination of novels by French members of the Societe des Cinq. A similar character is shown to be present in these novels, and the increased prominence of these characters coincides with the novelists' years of association with Turgenev. The study concludes that Turgenev played a crucial role in the development of ideas concerning social reform among French members of the Societe des Cinq.
