Male writers such as Crane and Norris defined themselves and their work in contrast to these effete perception of literature. Women like Wharton, on the other hand, wrote out of a skeptical or hostile reaction to the expectations of them as women writers." "Dudley explores a number of social, historical, and cultural developments that catalyzed the masculine impulse underlying literary naturalism: the rise of spectator sports and masculine athleticism; the professional role of the journalist, adopted by many writers, allowing them to camoflauge their primary role as artist; and post-Darwinian interest in the sexual component of natural selection. A Man's Game also explores the surprising adoption of a masculine literary naturalism by African-American writers at the beginning of the 20th century, a strategy, despite naturalism's emphasis on heredity and genetic determinism, that helped define the black struggle for racial equality."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Naturalism in literature. 650 0 $a American fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African American men $x Intellectual life. 650 0 $a African American men in literature. 650 0 $a Masculinity in literature. 650 0 $a Aesthetics, American. 650 0 $a Men in literature. 650 6 $a Roman ameÌricain $y 20e sieÌcle $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Naturalisme dans la litteÌrature. 650 6 $a Roman ameÌricain $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a EÌcrits d'hommes ameÌricains $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Roman ameÌricain $x Histoire et critique. $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Hommes noirs ameÌricains $x Vie intellectuelle. 650 6 $a Hommes noirs ameÌricains dans la litteÌrature. 650 6 $a MasculiniteÌ dans la litteÌrature. 650 6 $a EstheÌtique ameÌricaine. 650 6 $a Hommes dans la litteÌrature. 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip048/2003018414.html 941 $a 1 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119043603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=00D6C9760F3F11DF93771FC5C41A358D 994 $a 02 $b IOMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
