My research will provide a dual intervention into the literary genre of naturalism through an exploration of transnational Black writers. First, my thesis rethinks the temporal and geographical boundaries of when and where naturalism, as a genre, developed. Second, I argue for the centrality of Black authors in literary naturalism over the 19th and early 20th centuries, asserting that a complex understanding of ecology emerges from these overlooked Page 5 of 9 Pagesauthors. Using the methodologies of Black ecologies, geographies, and literary studies, I intend to trace, intersect, and contrast the naturalisms of prominent Black authors to re-historicise the genre of literary naturalism.

我的研究将通过对跨国黑人作家的探索，对自然主义文学流派进行双重干预。首先，我的论文重新思考自然主义作为一种流派发展的时间和地点的时间和地理界限。其次，我主张黑人作家在 19 世纪和 20 世纪初文学自然主义中的中心地位，并断言这些被忽视的第 5 页（共 9 页）作者对生态学产生了复杂的理解。我打算利用黑人生态学、地理学和文学研究的方法论，追踪、交叉和对比著名黑人作家的自然主义，以重新历史化文学自然主义流派。
