American Literary Naturalism

Focusing on the influence of New Historicist studies, this research explores the interpretation of American literary naturalism and its relevance in contemporary fiction. It examines canonical figures like Norris, Crane, and Dreiser, while also highlighting the contributions of Wharton and Chopin to the discourse. The work positions itself as a continuation of Pizer's previous scholarship, enriching the understanding of literary naturalism within the broader context of American literature.
