The Age of the Primitive-Modern is in part a profound encounter with forces of science--specifically Darwinism--that had never been allowed into the realm of art.
In what ways does Crane's story register these changes? At the level of plot, style, dialogue?
Is there a framing device for this story as we had in Chesnutt?
That is, do we encounter the Neitzschean dialectic once again?
You might want to consider that conservative critics of the time argued that "naturalism"
and everything it embodied was the result of a dangerous Neitzscheanism pervading America....
Is it?
