American Literary Naturalism, a Divided Stream.

by Charles Child Walcutt

Book Overview

Walcutt's thesis is that naturalism in American literature is an offspring of transcendentalism. He sees literary Naturalism as a philosophy that partly defies Nature and partly submits to Nature. The works of naturalist writers of the early twentieth century possess a tension not present in works of the nineteenth century.
