Application of evolutionary theory to writing by Ben Franklin, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Edith Wharton, F. Scot Fitzgerald, Zora Neal Hurston, and others creates an interdisciplinary framework for examining key textual features: plot, theme, tone, setting, symbol, characterization, point of view; and at the same time provides an accessible introduction to Darwinian literary critical methodology. Pertinent scientific research, together with essential terms and concepts, is explained in context. Connections are made throughout to existing commentary on the targeted texts, illustrating how Darwinian scrutiny can enrich, extend, or reconfigure understandings derived from other critical approaches. 410 0$aEvolution, cognition, and the arts. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEvolution (Biology) in literature 610 $aLiterature 610 $aClassic Literature 610 $aEvolution 610 $aAmerican Literature 610 $aEssays 610 $aEvolutionary Theory 610 $aLiterary Tradition 610 $aDarwinian literary critical methodology 610 $aHenry David Thoreau 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) in literature. 676 $a576.82092 700 $aSaunders$b Judith P.$0905296 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910282226103321 996 $aAmerican classics$92024612 997 $aUNINA
