Özet:

 

As students of nineteenth-century American literature know, one issue that has  aroused controversy is whether Henry James was, at least during the decade of the  1880s, a Zolaesque naturalist or not. The strongest argument comes from Sergio  Perosa who writes that “James . . . for some time at least, felt at heart, and was in  his fictional practice, a full-fledged scientific ‘naturalist’ in the sense that [Émile]  Zola had given to those terms”  18 . Donald Pizer in turn casts James as a naturalist  when he states that James incorporates naturalistic themes in his later fiction,  depicting life as “extraordinary and sensational rather than as placid and  commonplace”  xii . In more general terms, Edwin Fussell explains James’s factual  “depth” and “detail” in French morals, culture and ideology as “the French side of  Henry James”  115-116 ; while Richard Grant maintains that “Mr. James does not  belong to the English school  English and American being in literature but one ,  but rather to the French. His cast of thought is French”  qtd. in Pollak 2-3 .  Finally, Philip Grover prudently considers the influence of Zola to be a minor one,  although acknowledging its existence  87, 94, 117, 151 .
