Race, milieu, and moment
Race, milieu, and moment were the three aspects of the literary critic and sociologist Hippolyte Taine's attempt at a scientific account of literature. Taine used these words in French (race, milieu et moment); the terms have become widespread in literary criticism in English, but are used in this context in senses closer to the French meanings of the words than the English meanings, which are, roughly, nation, environment, and time.
