Naturalism

1、Stephen Crane斯蒂芬·克莱恩1871-1900 战争小说之父

Maggie: A Girl of the Streets《街头女郎麦琪》（美国文学史上首次站在同情立场上

描写受辱妇女的悲惨命运）, a pioneering work of sociological naturalism；关于南北

战争的The Red Badge of Courage《红色英勇勋章》，奠定了他在美国文坛上不可动摇的

地位；优秀短篇小说集The Open Boat《海上扁舟》和blue hotel 《蓝色旅馆》; wounds

2、Theodore Dreiser西奥多·德莱塞1871-1945美国文学史上最杰出的现实主义小

说家，一位以探索充满磨难的现实生活着称的美国自然主义作家.

Sister Carrie《嘉莉妹妹》，真实再现了当时美国社会;Jennie Gerhardt《珍妮姑娘》，

被称为《嘉莉妹妹》的姐妹篇;Trilogy of Desire欲望三部曲（Financer金融家,The Titan

巨人,The Stoic斯多噶）;An American Tragedy《美国悲剧》是德莱赛成就最高的作品，

是人们清晰地看到了美国社会的真实情况，“至今依然具有巨大的现实意义”

在《美国悲剧》中，Dreiser intended to tell us that it is the social pressure that

makes Clyde's downfall inevitable. Clyde's tragedy is a tragedy that depends upon

the American social system which encouraged people to pursue the "dream of

success" at all costs.

1、Naturalism emphasized heredity and environment as important

deterministic forces shaping individualized characters who were presented in

special and detailed circumstances.

2. The effect of Darwinist idea of "survival of the fittest" was shattering. It is not

surprising to find in Dreiser's fiction a world of jungle, where “kill or to be killed”

was the law.

Dreiser's Writing Features:

✓ As a naturalist writer, Dreiser stressed determinism in his novels which deals

with everyday life, often with its sordid side.

✓ As a naturalist, he developed the capacity for photographic and relentless

(无情的) observation, thereby truthfully reflecting the society and people of his

time.

✓ His narrative method is natural and free from artifice.
