Christopher Laing Hill follows naturalism's emergence in France and circulation around the world from North and South America to East Asia. His analysis shows that transnational literary studies must operate on multiple scales, combine distant reading with close analysis, and investigate how literary forms develop on the move. The book begins by tracing the history of naturalist fiction from the 1860s into the twentieth century and the reasons it spread around the world. Hill explores the development of three naturalist figures--the degenerate body, the self-liberated woman, and the social milieu--through close readings of fiction from France, Japan, and the United States. Rather than genealogies of European influence or the domination of cultural "peripheries" by the center, novels by Ãmile Zola, Tayama Katai, Frank Norris, and other writers reveal conspicuous departures from metropolitan models as writers revised naturalist methods to address new social conditions. Hill offers a new approach to studying culture on a large scale for readers interested in literature, the arts, and the history of ideas." -- Publisher's description 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 223-241) and index. 505 0 $a Literary Travels and Literary Transformation -- The Degenerate Body -- The Unbound Woman -- Plains, Boats, and Backwaters -- Conclusion: Figures in and of the World 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Naturalism in literature. 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Comparative literature. 650 7 $a Comparative literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734553 650 7 $a Literature, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000172 650 7 $a Naturalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034541 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a FlashPoints (Evanston, Ill.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE0062C6EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
