Writers bristled at the state's new intrusions and coercions, but were also intrigued by its creation of new social ties and political identities. This excitement informed early American modernism, whose literary experiments often engaged the political innovations of the Progressive state at war. Writers such as Wallace Stevens, John Dos Passos, Willa Cather, Zane Grey, and Edith Wharton were fascinated by wartime discussions over the nature of U.S. citizenship, and also crafted new forms of writing that could represent a state now so complex it seemed to defy representation at all. And many looked to ordinary activities transformed by the war - such as sending mail, receiving healthcare, or driving a car - to explore the state's everyday presence in American lives"-- $c Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z United States $x Literature and the war. 650 0 $a War and society $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122022744.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202012408.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=921BA0A60F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
