He includes the most often cited discussions ranging from William Dean Howells, Henry James, and Frank Norris in the late nineteenth century to those by V.L. Parrington. Malcolm Cowley, and Lionel Trilling in the early twentieth century. To provide the full context for the effort to interpret the nature and significance of realism and naturalism during the periods when the movements were live issues on the critical scene, however, he also includes many uncollected essays. His selections since World War II reflect the major recent tendencies in academic criticism of the movements Analysis Realismus Literatur USA Aufsatzsammlung Naturalismus Literatur USA Aufsatzsammlung Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 455-457) and index Notes Master and use copy.
