Chicago and the Making of American Modernism : Cather, Hemingway, Faulkner, and Fitzgerald in Conflict Hardback
by Professor Michelle E. (College of DuPage, USA) Moore
Part of the Historicizing Modernism series
Hardback
Description
Chicago and the Making of American Modernism is the first full-length study of the vexed relationship between America’s great modernist writers and the nation’s “second city.” Michelle E.
Moore explores the ways in which the defining writers of the era—Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and F.
Scott Fitzgerald—engaged with the city and reacted against the commercial styles of "Chicago realism" to pursue their own, European-influenced mode of modernist art.
Drawing on local archives to illuminate the literary culture of early 20th-century Chicago, this book reveals an important new dimension to the rise of American modernism.
