The Descent of Love: Darwin and the Theory of Sexual Selection in American Fiction, 1871-1926
Language: English
Published by University of Pennsylvania Press, 1996
ISBN 10: 0812233441 ISBN 13: 9780812233445
First Edition
Hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 440 pages. First edition (first printing). Light soiling to fore-edge else a fine copy in a fine dust jacket. 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. In The Descent of Love, Bender carefully rereads the works of William Dean Howells, Henry James, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Sarah Orne Jewett, Kate Chopin, Harold Frederic, Charles W. Chesnutt, Edith Wharton, and Ernest Hemingway, teasing from them a startling but utterly convincing preoccupation with questions of sexual selection. Competing for readership as novelists who best grasped the "real" nature of human love, these writers also participated in a heated social debate over racial and sexual differences and the nature of sex itself. Influenced more by The Descent of Man than by the Origin of Species, Bender's novelists built upon Darwin's anthropological and zoological materials to anatomize their character's courtship behavior, returning consistently to concerns with physical beauty, natural dominance, and the power to select a mate. Bringing the resources of the history of science and intellectual history to this, the first full-length study of the impact of Darwin's theories in American literature, Bender revises accepted views of social Darwinism, American literary realism, and modernism in American literature, forever changing our perceptions of courtship and sexual interaction in American fiction from 1871 to 1926 and beyond.

Sea-brothers
Publication Date: 1988
Seller: Library House Internet Sales, Grand Rapids, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. In this analysis of the sea and its meaning in American literature, Bender focuses on Melville, Crane, London, Hemingway, Matthiessen, and 10 lesser-known sea-writers, and demonstrates the continuity and vitality of sea fiction. What he finds most distinctive about American sea fiction is its visionary, often mystical response to the biological world and to man's perceived place in the larger universe. He shows how Melville envisioned the sea as the essential element of life, and how this tradition was modified by Darwin. He also examines how the ideal of brotherhood so central to American sea fiction was severely compromised by the biological reality of a competitive, warring nature. ISBN 0-8122-8124-1: $29.95.

Sea-Brothers
Language: English
Published by University of Pennsylvania Press, US, 1990
ISBN 10: 0812213394 ISBN 13: 9780812213393
Paperback. Condition: New. Angell, Tony (illustrator). Sea-Brothers offers the most extensive analysis to date of the sea and its meaning in American literature. On the basis of his study of Melville, Crane, London, Hemingway, Matthiessen, and ten lesser-known sea-writers, Bert Bender argues that the tradition of American sea fiction did not end with the opening of the western frontier and the replacement of sailing ships by steamers. Rather, he demonstrates its continuity and vitality, identifying a central vision within the tradition and showing how particular authors draw from, transform, and contribute to it. What is most distinctive about American sea fiction, Bender contends, is its visionary, often mystical, response to the biological world and to man's perceived place in the larger universe. When Melville envisioned the sea as the essential element of life, indeed as life itself, he changed the course of American sea fiction by introducing the relevance of biological thought. But his meditations on the whale and "the ungraspable phantom of life" project a different reality from that envisioned by his successors. In American sea fiction after Melville, the influence of Origin of Species is as powerful as that of Moby Dick or the theme of sailing ships being displaced by steam. The ideal of brotherhood so central to American sea fiction was severely compromised by the biological reality of a competitive, warring nature. Twentieth-century sea fiction has continued to center on the biological world and address the possibility of democratic brotherhood, but the issues were fundamentally changed by Darwin's theories. This book will be a valuable source for students and scholars of American literature and will interest readers of sea fiction.
