Publisher Description
Greg Forter interprets modernism as an effort to mourn a form of white manhood that fused the 'masculine' with the 'feminine'. Examining works by Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner and Cather, Forter shows how these writers shared an ambivalence toward the feminine and an unease over existing racial categories.
