The Nonhuman in American Literary Naturalism offers a new
perspective on American literary naturalism that considers those
under-researched aspects of the genre that can be gathered under
the term the Nonhuman. The contributors, an international team of
scholars, have turned their attention to that which becomes visible
when the human subject is skirted, or perhaps, temporarily at
least, moved off-center: in other words, the representation of
nonhuman animals and other vital or inert species, things,
entities, cityscapes and seascapes, that also appear and play an
important part in American literary naturalism. Informed by animal
studies, ecocriticism, posthumanism, new materialism, and other
recent theoretical and philosophical perspectives, the essays in
this collection discuss early naturalist texts by Norris, Crane,
Dreiser, London, Wharton and Cather, as well as more recent
followers in the tradition of American literary naturalism:
Hemingway, Agee & Evans, Petry, Hamilton, Dick, Vonnegut,
Tepper, and DeLillo. The collection responds to a need to expand
and refine the connections among nonhuman studies and texts
associated with American literary naturalism and to productively
expand the scholarly discourse surrounding this vital movement in
American literary history.
