- W2004259628 abstract "Scorned by critics since birth, decreed dead by many, naturalism, according to Donald Pizer, is one of the most persistent vital strains in American fiction, perhaps the only modern literary form in America that has been both popular significant. To define naturalism explain its tenacious hold throughout the twentieth century on the American creative imagination, Pizer explores six novels: James T. Farrell s Studs Lonigan, Dos Passos s U.S.A., John Steinbeck s The Grapes of Wrath, Norman Mailer s The Naked the Dead, William Styron s Lie Down in Darkness, and Saul Bellow s The Adventures of Augie March.Pizer s approach to these novels is empirical; he does not wrench each novel awkwardly until it fits his framework of generalizations principles; rather, he approaches the novels as fiction arrives at his definition through his close reading of the works.Establishing the background of naturalism, Pizer explains that it comes under attack because it is sordid sensational in subject matter, it challenges man s faith in his innate moral sense thus his responsibility for his actions, it is so full of social documentation that it is often dismissed as little more than a photographic record of a life or an era; thus the aesthetic validity of the naturalistic novel has often been questioned. Pizer posits the 1890s, the 1930s, the late 1940s as the decades when naturalism flourished in America. He concentrates on literary criticism, not on the philosophy of naturalism, to show that literary criticism can make a contribution to a particularly muddled area of literary historya naturalism that is alive changing, thus resisting the neat definitions reserved for the dead." @default.
