The essays as a whole seek to demonstrate both the coherence of Norris's thought and his contribution toward the establishment of a specific form of naturalism in America. The collection's principal focus is Norris's most enduring works, the novels 'McTeague' and 'The Octopus', though his other fiction and literary criticism are also discussed. 410 0$aAnthem nineteenth century studies. 606 $aNaturalism 615 0$aNaturalism. 676 $a813/.4 700 $aPizer$b Donald$0551159 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009386403321 996 $aFrank Norris and American naturalism$94429864 997 $aUNINA
