The Descent of Love: Darwin and the Theory of Sexual Selection in American Fiction, 1871-1926University of Pennsylvania Press, Incorporated, 3 апр. 1996 г. - Всего страниц: 456 Upon its publication in 1871, Charles Darwin's The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex sent shock waves through the scientific community and the public at large. In an original and persuasive study, Bert Bender demonstrates that it is this treatise on sexual selection, rather than any of Darwin's earlier works on evolution, that provoked the most immediate and vigorous response from American fiction writers. These authors embraced and incorporated Darwin's theories, insights, and language, creating an increasingly dark and violent view of sexual love in American realist literature. |
