Evolution and the Sex Problem: American Narratives During the Eclipse of Darwinism

Bender argues that Darwin's theories of sexual selection are essential elements in American fiction from the late 1800s through the 1950s. He contends that novelists with different social points of view explored ""the Sex Problem"", resulting in a diversity of American narratives aligned with either Darwinian or anti-Darwinian theories of evolution.
