Jason Stacy places the book within the atmosphere of its time and follows its progress as the poetry took root and thrived. Published by Edgar Lee Masters in 1915, Spoon River Anthology won praise from modernists while becoming an ongoing touchstone for American popular culture. Stacy charts the ways readers embraced, debated, and reshaped Masters's work in literary controversies and culture war skirmishes; in films and other media that over time saw the small town as idyllic then conflicted then surreal; and as the source of three archetypes--populist, elite, and exile--that endure across the landscape of American culture in the twenty-first century. A wide-ranging reconsideration of a literary landmark, Spoon River America tells the story of how a Midwesterner's poetry helped change a nation's conception of itself-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Masters, Edgar Lee, $d 1868-1950. $t Spoon River anthology. 650 0 $a City and town life in literature. 650 0 $a National characteristics, American, in literature. 650 0 $a American poetry $z Middle West $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a Middle West $x In literature. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020504.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20221221010149.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20221008011636.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210609010149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14A29EDEC8E811EB9BB532342BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
