Chicago and the Making of American Modernism: Cather, Hemingway, Faulkner, and Fitzgerald in Conflict de Professor Michelle E. Moore

Chicago and the Making of American Modernism: Cather, Hemingway, Faulkner, and Fitzgerald in Conflict: Historicizing Modernism

Autor Professor Michelle E. Moore
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iun 2020
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.

Recenzii

The reader emerges with new insight into the importance of Chicago in the minds of American modernists, while Moore's shrewd close readings and archival research refresh ideas about classic texts ... Her book will be valuable to many fields of study
Moore's consideration of Faulkner and Fitzgerald is valuable, adding new connections between these important modernist writers and Chicago ... One strength of Moore's work is the use of archival material as evidence of attitudes toward Chicago.
Michelle E. Moore's clear-eyed and engaging study helps us better understand just how much of a modernist Hemingway was by taking us back to the root of that development. Moore's commitment to her subject matter, and the narratives she is able to build from her research, further validates Hemingway's role as an essential American modernist who came of age as a writer not only in Paris, but in the "Wild West" of Chicago, Illinois.
Impressive primary source research.Throughout, Moore's precise attention to historical detail allows her to construct well-rounded portraits of the people behind the fictional Chicago types that populate Fitzgerald's stories, and she convincingly demonstrates how knowing more about the real backgrounds of these people enriches our understanding of Fitzgerald's thematic concerns, especially with respect to labor relations and workers' rights. All in all, in the Fitzgerald chapter, just as with the rest of this remarkable book, Moore offers important contributions to scholarship by highlighting the significance of Chicago-related linkages that without her careful explications readers might otherwise miss.
