Synopsis "Frank Norris and American Naturalism (Anthem Nineteenth-Century) "

',Frank Norris and American Naturalism', brings together in one volume Donald Pizer',s lifelong exploration of Frank Norris',s work, ranging from his 1955 discussion of point of view in ',The Octopus', to his 2010 essay on the thematic unity of that novel. The essays as a whole seek to demonstrate both the coherence of Norris',s thought and his contribution toward the establishment of a specific form of naturalism in America. The collection',s principal focus is Norris',s most enduring works, the novels ',McTeague', and ',The Octopus',, though his other fiction and literary criticism are also discussed.Although Norris died at 32, his literary output during his brief career has played an important role in efforts to interpret the nature of American naturalism. He was one of the few naturalists to write literary criticism, a body of writing which casts much light on his self-conception as a naturalist, and his novels ',McTeague', and ',The Octopus', rely on two of the most distinctive forms of naturalistic fiction--the sensationalistic novel of violence and the panoramic novel of social protest. Furthermore, though he was deeply indebted to Zola',s fiction, he broke free of Zolaesque themes in ways which are significant for most later American naturalists. Thus, despite the brevity of his career, Norris is a seminal figure in the history of American literary naturalism._,
