Bertram Cope's Year: A Progressive Era Campus Comedy of Manners and Early Queer Social Satire in a Midwestern University Town - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Henry Blake Fuller's Bertram Cope's Year is a deft comedy of manners set within the genteel orbit of a Midwestern university town. Its plot follows the handsome young instructor Bertram Cope as he becomes the object of competing social, romantic, and aesthetic projections, especially among older women and cultivated men. Written in a cool, ironic realist style, the novel belongs to the tradition of American social satire while also standing as one of the earliest U.S. fictions to render same-sex attachment with notable subtlety and restraint. Fuller, a major figure in Chicago literary culture, was already known for urban novels such as The Cliff-Dwellers and With the Procession. His lifelong bachelorhood, cosmopolitan education, and position as an observer of bourgeois society inform the novel's tactful yet penetrating attention to social codes, evasions, and desires. Writing late in his career, Fuller brought to Bertram Cope's Year a mature command of implication and psychological nuance. This book is recommended to readers interested in early modern American fiction, queer literary history, campus novels, and refined social irony. Its quiet surface conceals a remarkably bold examination of identity, affection, and the pressures of respectable society.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In 'Bertram Cope's Year,' Henry Blake Fuller presents a nuanced exploration of urban life and personal identity in early 20th-century America. Written in an epistolary style, the novel intimately chronicles the titular character, Bertram Cope, as he navigates romantic entanglements and societal expectations in Chicago. Fuller's prose is marked by an astute observation of social dynamics and a keen ear for dialogue, situating the narrative against the backdrop of a period experiencing cultural shifts, including the emergence of modernism and changing views on sexuality. Through Cope's relationships, Fuller deftly critiques monolithic views of masculinity and heterosexuality, positioning his protagonist in a complex emotional and social landscape. Henry Blake Fuller, an author and a pivotal figure in the Chicago literary scene, was known for his keen interest in social reform and modernity. His own experiences as a member of the city's vibrant artistic community heavily influenced his writing. Fuller, openly questioning traditional norms, drew from his life and relationships to craft a narrative that not only entertains but also prompts reflection on the fluidity of personal identity and intimacy amidst cultural constraints, revealing a side of American life often overlooked in his time. 'Bertram Cope's Year' is a must-read for those interested in LGBTQ literature, historical fiction, and the intricacies of character relationships within societal frameworks. Readers will find Fuller's exploration of love and identity both compelling and thought-provoking, as it resonates with contemporary discussions of belonging and self-discovery. This novel serves not only as a keen social commentary but also as a powerful reminder of the struggles for authenticity in an evolving world. 132 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9788028358990
