From the supplier: Frank Norris' 'The Pit' has been classified as an unimpressive novel because critics have applied a very limited manly naturalism paradigm to it and ignored the role of Laura Dearborn. Norris has challenged traditional notions of masculinity in this novel and effectively woven together a plot of domestic relationships and marketplace competitions. This mixture has been misread as a dilution of naturalism. Norris' willingness to focus on issues of love and marriage mark his attempt to broaden the scope of naturalist fiction.
