Naturalism movement in America

Many labels circulate for the era between the Civil War and World War I—the Gilded Age, La Belle Epoque, the Age of Realism, the Age of Energy, the Age of Darwin, the Age of Colonialism and Empire. To imagine what America was like during this dynamic period, we need them all: this was a time of unprecedented wealth for thousands of Americans, and urban poverty for millions of new immigrants; there was political upheaval in the streets, technological revolution everywhere, and exuberant experimentation in the arts.
