"Modernism and Mildred Walker" 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.
