"
Sherwood Anderson and the Women of Winesburg." In Critical Essays on
Sherwood Anderson, edited by David D.
In the early years of The Double Dealers run, when the journal was still sporting Beardsleyesque cover art, (11) names well-connected with the movements that Hutchinson charts--Carl Van Vechten,

The novel exists so entirely in its particular historical moment that it reads at times like a twenty-first-century parody of the Jazz Age; for example, Judith writes to George to tell him that the "
Sherwood Anderson piece" is not finished but "I have an excellent article ready for him on 'Tribal Rites in America' which begins with 'The Golden Bough' and ends with a discussion of the custom of standing up in the seventh inning." This passage is also characteristic of Broun's treatment of baseball throughout the text, as he has an aficionado's love and knowledge of the game that allows him to treat it with both the seriousness and humor it needs to be successful in fiction.
