What is Such a rare thing : the art of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio about?

This Critical Study Of Sherwood Anderson's Most Famous And Perhaps Most Widely Taught Work, Winesburg, Ohio, Treats It As A Thoroughly Modernist Novel Examining The Aesthetic Nature Of Romantic Identity. Author Clarence Lindsay Argues That Anderson's Famous Theory Of The Grotesque Is A Theory Of American Identity. Each Of The Small Town's Grostesques In Effect Authors A Romantic Narrative That Privileges The Self. In Trying To Live Their Lives By That Narrative, Each Enacts A Romantic Selfhood. Each Of These Romantic Selfhoods Is An Aesthetic Enterprise, Complicated By All The Aesthetic Issues Relating To Artist And Audience. Every Crisis In The Novel Is An Aesthetic Crisis; Every Comedy, Every Tragedy Is An Aesthetic Misstep Of Some Sort. Lindsay Proposes That All Moral Issues In Winesburg, Ohio Are Aesthetic; All Aesthetic Issues Are Moral. Winesburg's Narrator's Careful Attention To Characters' Romantic Narratives Of Self Provides An Ironic Scrutiny Of Not Only The Astonishing Varieties Of American Romantic Identity But Also A Painstaking Interrogation Of A Variety Of Romantic Discourses. Anderson's Radical Formal Innovation, The Interrelated Tale, Was The Perfect American Form,
