The work remained popular until the middle of the nineteenth century.

Because of this detached and scientific approach, ""Thérèse Raquin"" is considered an example of naturalism. ""Thérèse Raquin"" was first adapted for the stage as an 1873 play written by Zola himself. It has since then been adapted numerous times as films, TV miniseries, musicals and an opera, among others.
