From Warm Center to Ragged Edge - The Erosion of Midwestern Literary and Historical Regionalism, 1920

Klappentext Explains the factors that triggered the demise of the Midwest's regionalist energies! from anti-midwestern machinations in the literary world and the inability of midwestern writers to break through the cultural politics of the era to the growing dominance of a coastal! urban culture. These developments paved the way for images of the Midwest as flyover country! the Rust Belt! a staid and decaying region.
