The Professor's House: primitivist melancholy and the gender of Utopian forms. 330 $aAmerican modernist writers' engagement with changing ideas of gender and race often took the form of a struggle against increasingly inflexible categories. Greg Forter interprets modernism as an effort to mourn a form of white manhood that fused the 'masculine' with the 'feminine'. He argues that modernists were engaged in a poignant yet deeply conflicted effort to hold on to socially 'feminine' and racially marked aspects of identity, qualities that the new social order encouraged them to disparage. Examining works by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and Willa Cather, Forter shows how these writers shared an ambivalence toward the feminine and an unease over existing racial categories that made it difficult for them to work through the loss of the masculinity they mourned. Gender, Race, and Mourning in American Modernism offers a bold reading of canonical modernism in the United States. 517 3 $aGender, Race, & Mourning in American Modernism 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $aGender identity in literature 606 $aRace in literature 606 $aGrief in literature 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aGender identity in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 615 0$aGrief in literature. 676 $a813/.52093532 700 $aForter$b Greg$01030905 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464732903321 996 $aGender, race, and mourning in American modernism$92483271 997 $aUNINA
