{"product_id":"modernism-and-mildred-walker-carmen-pearson-9780803237605","title":"Modernism and Mildred Walker","description":"\u003ci\u003eModernism and Mildred Walker\u003c\/i\u003e is the first full-length critical study of the major fictional works of this American author whose life spanned the twentieth century (1905-98) and whose literary production spanned almost three-quarters of a century. A highly regarded chronicler of New England and the American West, she is also appreciated for her portrayal of women characters and the complexity of women's roles. Long beloved by readers of Montana fiction, Mildred Walker's novels have been dismissed by some critics as only of regional interest, and, as Carmen Pearson argues, have not been explored and appreciated from other critical perspectives and by other audiences. In this persuasive new study, Pearson offers a new and decidedly western interpretation of Modernism as a critical tool and proposes a variety of readings and interpretations designed to emphasize the relationship between cultural production in the West and modernism. She encourages readers and students of literature to reappraise Walker's work and to undertake further critical studies of their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carmen Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080323760X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803237605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.78w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/05\/2008 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009","brand":"Carmen Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47520295223551,"sku":"9780803237605","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ef96bb6-c0d1-49e7-bbb3-ee42dc3f0036.jpg?v=1762884728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modernism-and-mildred-walker-carmen-pearson-9780803237605","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
