Stein, Gender, Isolation, and Industrialism: New Readings of Winesburg, Ohio by Duane Simolke ISBN 1-58348-338-1 Format: Paperback Our Price: $8.95 |
Stein, Gender, Isolation, and
Industrialism: New Readings of Winesburg, Ohio re-visits the best
known work of the influential American writer, Sherwood Anderson. This
book served as the doctoral dissertation of Duane Simolke at Texas Tech
University, December 1996. Dr. Simolke examines Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg,
Ohio, as it relates to Gertrude Stein, gender roles, gay subtext,
failed communication, and the machine in the garden. Anderson’s
friendship with and admiration of Stein greatly affected the contents
and writing style of Winesburg. Simolke also looks at how Winesburg
reflects Anderson’s concerns about mechanization, loneliness, and the
mistreatment of many people. Dr. Simolke has also written The Acorn
Stories, also published by toExcel, a collection of
fiction that was influenced by Stein, Anderson, and various other
writers.
