Breeding and Eugenics in the American Literary Imagination: Heredity Rules in the Twentieth Century - Palgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine
Ewa Barbara Luczak
A disturbing but ultimately discredited strain in American thought, eugenics was a crucial ideological force in the early twentieth century. Luczak investigates the work of writers like Jack London and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, to consider the impact of eugenic racial discourse on American literary production from 1900-1940.
