Contexts focuses on the novel's sources and composition. Included are newspaper accounts of a San Francisco murder; a description of Norris' Polk Street neighborhood, which figures prominently in McTeague ; an examination of the relationship between the novel and naturalism; and a discussion of the book's genesis, from its origin as a Harvard assignment to Norris's revision of it upon his return to San Francisco. Criticism has been revised to include major recent assessments of the novel. Two seminal pieces from the previous edition have been retained--Ernest Marchand's account of McTeague 's 1899 reviews and Donald Pizer's essay on naturalism. Six essays and four stills from Erich von Stroheim's film version of McTeague are new. The new essays are by Don Graham, William E. Cain, Barbara Hochman, James L. Caron, Mary Lawlor, and Donna M. Campbell. A Chronology and an updated Selected Bibliography are included.

Very Good. No Jacket. Size: 8vo-over 7? "-9? " tall; Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Second Edition. Authoritative Text, Contexts, Criticisms. Edited by Donald Pizer. Clean and unmarked pictorial cover, with illustration: A Polk Street corner in the 1890s. Lower corner of cover and first few pages ruffled. Trace wear to edges. Soundly bound, square. Pages clean, no markings, lightly toned. Few novels have captured the seamy side of American urban life as has this portrayal of human degradation in turn-of-the-century (20th) San Francisco, first published in 1899. The protagonists in the story, men and women, are shown as both products and victims of a debasing social order. It is the story of a courtship and marriage and the subsequent descent into poverty and violence, and finally murder, as a result of greed and jealousy. Heredity and environment play the role of fate in this story as it moves towards its harrowing conclusion. Includes an authoritative text, contextual and source materials and a wide range of interpretations, from contemporary perspectives to the most current critcal theory, as well as a bibliography and chronology of the author's life and work. 414 pages. 8.5 x 5.2 inches. 1996, W. W. Norton & Company, USA.
