Alongside a historical overview of the emergence of three critical sites of modernist activity ? the little art colonies of Carmel, Provincetown and Taos ? the book offers new critical readings of major authors associated with those places: Robinson Jeffers, Eugene O?Neill and D. H. Lawrence. Geneva M. Gano tracks the radical thought and aesthetic innovation that emerged from these villages, revealing a surprisingly dynamic circulation of persons, objects and ideas between the country and the city and producing modernisms that were cosmopolitan in character yet also site-specific.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408854524247,"sku":"9781474439763","price":24.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781474439763.jpg?v=1730504453","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-little-art-colony-and-us-modernism-9781474439763","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
