| 1 | Author: | Anderson, Sherwood, 1876-1941 | Requires cookie* | | Title: | An Apology for Crudity | | | Published: | 1997 | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | Description: | For a long time I have believed that crudity is an inevitable
quality in the production of a really significant present-day
American literature. How indeed is one to escape the obvious fact
that there is as yet no native subtlety of thought or living among us?
And if we are a crude and childlike people how can our literature
hope to escape the influence of that fact? Why indeed should we
want it to escape? | | Similar Items: | Find |
