The Magnificent Ambersons depicts the fall from grace of George Minafer, scion of the once-unassailable Amberson family whose wealth and grandeur are in precipitous decline. Alice Adams, perhaps Booth Tarkington's greatest work, offers a psychologically nuanced portrait of a self-aware young woman whose social prospects are rapidly diminishing. Tarkington's gifts as a story writer are displayed in the collection In the Arena: Stories of Political Life, published not long after he served as an Indiana state representative and drawing unforgettable from his firsthand encounter with the rough-and-tumble of real-world politics. With original illustrations from the first editions, helpful annotation, and a newly researched chronology of Tarkington's life and career. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Mothers and sons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children of the rich $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social change $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social classes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Middle class families $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Indiana $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Mallon, Thomas, $d 1951- $e editor. 700 12 $a Tarkington, Booth, $d 1869-1946. $t Magnificent Ambersons. 700 12 $a Tarkington, Booth, $d 1869-1946. $t Alice Adams. 700 12 $a Tarkington, Booth, $d 1869-1946. $t In the arena. 830 0 $a Library of America; $v 319. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211022836.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20191018012755.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806075935.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B9502F7AB81211E9A4E5754297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
