Excerpt from Lucifer at Large
A fallen angel is a splendid thing; a fallen simian is not. The one can topple from high heaven; the other, only from a tree.
Let men and women of fiction fall to any depths, but let them fall as men and women. For, as I say, to fall very far, characters have to be human - and even somewhat divine. Otherwise, it is rather difficult to think of them as having any place to fall from: to use the figure which Mr. Galsworthy once applied to some of his own creatures, they seem to be characters who are only falling off the floor.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines the profound impact of a philosophical current on the literary landscape of the early 20th century, exploring how the tenets of naturalism profoundly shaped the themes, techniques, and perspectives of a generation of writers. The author traces the origins of naturalism, its roots in the scientific advancements of the era, and its subsequent influence on literary giants such as Theodore Dreiser, Frank Norris, and Jack London. The analysis delves into the ways in which naturalism challenged traditional notions of morality, free will, and the power of the individual, revealing how it fueled a literary movement that sought to depict life with unflinching realism and an emphasis on the harsh realities of human existence. The book offers a comprehensive examination of the literary techniques employed by naturalist writers, exploring their use of clinical observation, deterministic plots, and focus on the animalistic impulses within human nature. It examines the ways in which these techniques aimed to strip away the illusions of society and expose the raw, often brutal, truths of life. Ultimately, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the significance of naturalism in shaping the course of American literature, demonstrating how its influence continues to resonate in contemporary works.
