Norris, Frank
Abstract
Alongside Stephen Crane, Jack London, and Theodore Dreiser, Frank Norris is one of the most important figures in American literary naturalism. Rather neglected today, Norris published six major novels (an important early novel, Vandover and the Brute, was published posthumously in 1914), and regularly contributed short stories and impressionistic journalism to such publications as The Wave, the San Francisco Chronicle, and The Occident. A collection of his critical writing, The Responsibilities of the Novelist and Other Literary Essays, was published by Doubleday in 1903, shortly after his tragic early death in 1902.
