| 520 | |a This book offers a new understanding of what literary naturalism is and why it matters. The author, countering the standard narrative of literary naturalism's much-touted concern with environmental and philosophical determinism, draws attention to the polemical essence of the genre and demonstrates how literary naturalists engaged instead with explosive political and cultural issues that remain fervently debated into the twenty-first century. Naturalist writers, the author argues, are united less by a coherent philosophy than by an attitude, a posture of aggressive controversy, which happens to cluster loosely around particular social issues. To an extent not yet appreciated, literary naturalists took controversial - and frequently contrarian - positions on a wide range of literary, political, and social issues. By highlighting the contentious rhetoric that infuses the canonical texts of literary naturalism, this book opens up a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary interrogation of racial, sexual, and environmental polemics in American culture. | ||
