Imagining the Primitive in Naturalist and Modernist Literatur

Imagining the Primitive in Naturalist and Modernist Literature by Gina Rossetti
English | Feb. 2, 2006 | ISBN: 0826216250 | 208 Pages | PDF | 1 MB

From Herman Melville’s Queequeg to Ken Kesey’s Chief Bromden, primitive characters have played key roles in literature and have generally emerged as enduring and sympathetic figures. In this book, Gina M. Rossetti focuses on works by Jack London, Frank Norris, Eugene O’Neill, Theodore Dreiser, Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and Nella Larsen, arguing that primitive literary characters reveal complex and culturally based assumptions.
