Title
Wharton, Hemingway, and the Architecture of Modernism: Gendered Tropes of Architecture and Interior Decoration
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Discusses each author's employment of the historically gendered tropes of architecture and interior design, with the latter characterized as feminine and thus inferior. Tyler covers Hemingway's exposure to modern architecture growing up in Chicago, resentment over exclusion from Wharton's literary circle, as well as Wharton's influence on his developing modernist aesthetic. Frequent references to Death in the Afternoon.
