		In effect, Norris, like his male characters McTeague and Ryer, is deliberately abusive--toward these readers who, like their Victorian-era predecessors, maintain a high regard for the dignity of individuals of both sexes and cannot countenance so light-hearted a reaction on the part of Norris to the brutal behaviors described in detail and without censure here.
		Norris was writing at a time when, because of Darwin's influence and the advent of the naturalistic sensibility, human beings' animalistic characteristics--vestigial and active--were receiving much attention.
		Norris instead establishes in a frolicsome tone a squalid and malodorous urban setting, in which the sterility of the childless couples replaces fecundity, the apparently pathological dependence of the masochistic wives upon their sadistic husbands stands forth instead of wholesome love, and violence rather than "thrice times happy" lovemaking is the constant.

	Frank Norris (1807-1902)
		Norris does not posit the existence of Freud's id, but like Jack London he does focus in McTeague and elsewhere on the emergence of the "brute" within.
		First, Norris was inclined toward parody, and he is deliberately employing the conventions of a pastoral fantasy in a parodic manner.
		Norris's distancing of himself from his characters and their peculiarities is characteristic of post-Victorian contemporaries such as Stephen Crane and Ambrose Bierce; like Bierce in "Chickamauga" (1889), Norris sometimes gives the impression of one insensitively toying with ungainly specimens of humanity for the sake of shocking the reader.

		Norris had larger aims than Crane and on the whole achieved more, though no one of his books excels the Red Badge.
		He was one of the least sectional of American novelists, with a vision of his native land which attached him to the movement, then under discussion, to “continentalize” American literature by breaking up the parochial habits of the local colour school.
		In all these his eagerness to be truthful gave Norris a large energy, particularly in scenes of action, but his speed and vividness are not matched by his body and meaning.

	Frank Norris
		An Italian poet says that in Columbus "the instinct of the unknown continent burned;" and it may be that this young novelist, who had his instincts mostly so well intellectualized, was moved quite from within when he imagined treating American things in an epical relation as something most expressive of their actual relation.
		I am not saying, I hope, that Frank Norris had not his success, but only that he had not success enough, the success which he would have had if he had lived, and which will still be his too late.
		With him my last talk of the right way and the true way of doing things was saddened by the confession of his belief that we were soon to be overwhelmed by the rising tide of romanticism, whose crazy rote he heard afar, and expected with the resignation which the sick experience with all things.

		Hankins (History/Louisiana Coll.) has done readers a service by bringing some attention to J. Frank Norris, a populist Baptist leader active from the the 1920s to the 1950s and often overlooked in histories of modern fundamentalism and in Southern cultural studies.
		Norris, who once shot and killed an unarmed man in his office (he won acquittal after claiming that he believed the man, angered by Norris's attacks on local politicians, was about to attack him), and who was almost constantly embroiled in controversy, is a colorful, outsized figure, not rendered here with much depth.
		His attack on Frank Norris is bad enough, but his misinterpretation of fundamentalism and the Bible just go too far.
