First published in 1990. Balzac, Zola and Faulkner all drew upon
the principles of evolutionary theory to represent man's place in
nature and his struggle for survival in their major series La
Comedie humaine, Rougon-Macquart and the Yoknapatawpha fiction.
This book focuses on the 'first' novels in each author's series (La
Pere Goriot, La Fortune des Rougon and Flags in the Dust) and
considers how each novel relates to its series and derives a
definition of the naturalistic roman-fleuve. To describe this
development, the issues of how a scientific idea becomes refracted
in a literary genre and how the naturalistic novel developed out of
the realistic novel are considered.
