It was all well and good, but how can you have entire sections devoted to naturalism and american realism and not include anything about Mark Twain. It seems a little stuffy and pretentious, with an obvious slant to prefer realism rather than just researching it. Besides that, it was educational. I enjoyed the parts about Crime and Punishment.
