George Ade

    George Ade se established como un humorista preeminente que documentó el carácter estadounidense durante una era crucial de transformación nacional. Su obra observó agudamente la migración de las zonas rurales a las ciudades en desarrollo, especialmente Chicago, donde tomaron forma sus obras de ficción más célebres. Ade representó magistralmente una vasta comedia de costumbres que reflejaba tanto el Medio Oeste como la sociedad estadounidense de finales del siglo XIX. Es reconocido como un realista y un colorista local que retrató vívidamente la vida y el carácter de Chicago y la región circundante.
