City and town life in literature.
Annotation
This book is an important contribution to the field of American literary studies.This critical study of Sherwood Anderson's most famous and perhaps most widely taught work, "Winesburg, Ohio", treats it as a thoroughly modernist novel examining the aesthetic nature of romantic identity.Author Clarence Lindsay argues that Anderson's famous theory of the Grotesque is a theory of American identity. Each of the small town's grotesques in effect authors a romantic narrative that privileges the self. In trying to live their lives by that narrative, each enacts a romantic selfhood.
