For a very shrewd deconstruction of our friend Gene, see Janet Malcolm's
review published in the
New York Review of Books a few years ago. For some interesting comments on the "nature study" movement, see this
blog post about zoo director Hornaday as well as this
biography of one of its leaders, Anna Comstock. I have no idea if Stratton-Porter named her heroine after Anna, but it's worth a thought.
