American Naturalism
Characterics
Frequently but not invariably ill-educated or lower-class characters whose lives are governed by the forces of heredity and passion. Their attempts at exercising free will or choice are hamstrung by forces beyond their control. Social Darwinism and other theories help to explain their fates to the reader.
Setting
Frequently an urban setting, as in Mcteague Maggie and Sister Carrie.
Techniques and Plots
Walcutt says that the naturalistic novel offers clinical panoramic slice-of-life drama that is often a chronicle of despair. The novel of degeneration is also a common type.
Theme
Walcutt identifies survival, determinism, violence and taboo as key themes.
