＜p＞From the hard-boiled detective stories of Dashiell Hammett to the novels of Claude McKay, ＜em＞The Word on the Streets＜/em＞ examines a group of writers whose experimentation with the vernacular argues for a rethinking of American modernismーone that cuts across traditional boundaries of class, race, and ethnicity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The dawn of the modernist era witnessed a transformation of popular writing that demonstrated an experimental practice rooted in the language of the streets. Emerging alongside more recognized strands of literary modernism, the vernacular modernism these writers exhibited lays bare the aesthetic experiments inherent in American working-class and ethnic language, forging an alternative pathway for American modernist practice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Brooks Hefner shows how writers across a variety of popular genresーfrom Gertrude Stein and William Faulkner to humorist Anita Loos and ethnic memoirist Anzia Yezierskaーemployed street slang to mount their own critique of genteel realism and its classist emphasis on dialect hierarchies, the result of which was a form of American experimental writing that resonated powerfully across the American cultural landscape of the 1910s and 1920s.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
