The Oxford Handbook of American Literary Naturalism offers
twenty-eight original essays about an important genre that
typically depicts human beings as the product of biological and
environmental forces over which they have little control. Drawing
upon recent scholarship as well as innovations in cultural studies,
contributors offer an authoritative and in-depth reassessment of a
genre that included writers from Stephen Crane, Frank Norris,
Theodore Dreiser, and Jack London to Kate Chopin, Edith Wharton,
Upton Sinclair, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Richard Wright,
Joyce Carol Oates, Cormac McCarthy, and Don DeLillo. Organized by
topic and theme, essays explore the contexts that prompted the
origins of the genre, the problem of definition and the
interconnections with other genres, and the scientific and
philosophical background. Others examine the tensions with the
genre-the role of women and African-American writers, depictions of
sexuality, the problem of race, the critique of commodity culture
and class, and the continuing presence of naturalism in twentieth-
and twenty-first century fiction. Contributors also consider the
role of the marketplace in the development of naturalism as well as
the popular and critical response and the influence of naturalism
in the other arts.
