Talk:Winesburg, Ohio

Literary Significance and Criticism revision
I just added a (fully-sourced) provisional revision of this section in the article. I say provisional because I plan to add more, but need to do more research to properly compose and source the material. My current thinking is to add at least some of these ideas to that section:

Views of Early Critics: Historical/Literary: Thoughts? Ideas? --Olegkagan (talk) 09:15, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * "Revolt of the Village" theme and its downfall (connection with other books of the same ilk)
 * Psychoanalytic angle (or New Psychology as it was sometimes referred to)
 * Winesburg has been variously looked at as a precursor to the modern novel or a modern novel itself. I’ll have to look at some histories of the American Novel to fill out this section.
 * Expressionism: Several critics (David Stouk in particular) have placed Winesburg within this movement. This is significant because it adds to an understanding of the novel’s place in the artistic/literary world, as well as its style.
 * Innovations in Genre: should this be its own section or under Literary Criticism and Significance? (part of Winesburg’s significance is that it was a major precursor to the “short story cycle” genre, notably influencing cycles such as In Our Time, etc.)
 * Expressionism and Innovation in Genre added in various sections. Not sure where to stick "Revolt of the Village" and Psychoanalysis. I have my hands on Hoffman's chapter from Freudianism and the Literary Mind (1945) which has a chapter on Anderson -- will incorporate if there's something interesting in there that will fit. --Olegkagan (talk) 22:07, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Novel?
Why on Earth does the title of this article say it's a novel if the article then defines it (correctly) as a collection of short stories? Shouldn't the title be changed?--93.40.141.143 (talk) 18:47, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I added a "Genre" section to the article that addresses this issue. Since it conceivably be argued that Winesburg, Ohio is both a novel and a collection of short stories, and I think changing the title to Winesburg, Ohio (short story cycle) may be confusing to people unfamiliar with the genre, I'm going to put some thought into changing the page title to Winesburg, Ohio (book) which encompasses all of the above and is fairly clear in signifying the subject.--Olegkagan (talk) 17:04, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Tried to change the page title to book but was unable to. Not sure why. --Olegkagan (talk) 04:04, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Possible move
Talk:Winesburg,_Ohio may be of interest; specifically, if Winesburg, Ohio is moved elsewhere, then perhaps Winesburg, Ohio (novel) should be moved to Winesburg, Ohio. jnestorius(talk) 14:59, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
