Deconstructing Frank Norris's Fiction : The Male-Female Dialectic (Modern American Literature: New Approaches)

Arguing counter to the usual grouping of Norris as a naturalist or realist writer with his contemporaries Dreiser and London, West (Anglo-American College, Prague) declares such works as A Man's Woman (1928) and McTeague (no date given) as actually romantic in nature by analyzing their natural man, refined woman, and Jungian archetypal characters. A chronology listing when works were written (not just collected as cited) would have been helpful. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
