- Annotation
- Comparison study of the modernist tenets of corrupt speech and social withdrawal found in Winesburg, Ohio (1919) and In Our Time. Ward discusses Sherwood Anderson s focus on inarticulateness and silence as the only expressions of truth while suggesting Hemingway s empty conversations and silence are a means of avoiding disagreeable scenes and dramatic situations. Concludes that only in extreme withdrawal can moments of clarity break through. Reads each author s portrayal of the insincerity of speech as a response to modernism and a defensive reaction to suffering.
