Article Summary: Is American Literary Naturalism Dead A Further Inquiry by Donald Pizer In this article Donald Pfizer examines whether American literary naturalism is dead. Pfizer starts off by acknowledging that it is indeed dead, but stating that naturalistic streams and themes continue to be present in American literature, in much the same way as the romanticism of Coleridge, Keats and Shelley was dead by the end of the 19th century, and yet continued to live on in new forms and themes appropriate to the changing times.
