Synopsis

This study examines the genesis of Chicago's two identified literary renaissance periods (189-192 and 193-195) through the writings of Dreiser, Hughes, Wright, and Farrell. Through close readings and contextualization, the influence of Chicago writing on American literature in such areas as realism, naturalism, proletatian and ethnic fiction becomes apparent.
