- Summary
- 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.
