Hoosier Daddy
An alternative 1.The facts about Riley are not asinteresting as the myths about his life. 2. He was not the author ofgreat literature. It is, of course, the duty of the serious biographerto present the truest picture possible of the life of the biography'ssubject.To this end, Elizabeth Van Allen has done a prodigious amount ofresearch in documents relating to the life of Riley.The result is ascholarly but readable and interesting book.She rightly puts to rest themyths about the poet, intriguing though they may be.Furthermore, as ahistorian, Van Allen discusses the significance of Riley's poetry but doesnot attempt to defend it as outstanding literature. Certainly, thebiography of Riley will be most popular in Indiana where he is stillrevered by many, but it also will be of interest to anyone who isinterested in American cultural history.In presenting the context forRiley's early years, the author paints a clear picture of life in theMidwest in the second half of the 19th century.As Riley rises to nationalfame, the reader learns of the role of newspapers as a purveyor ofliterature in the late 19th century, the national importance of regionalliterature in that century, and the important role of the national lecturecircuit as mass entertainment of the period. As an immensely popularentertainer on platforms throughout the nation and later through themarketing efforts of his publisher and of Riley himself, before movies,radio, television, or rock and roll, Riley was the 19th century precursorof the 20th century pop culture celebrity.This fact alone makes him afigure worth reading about and the author's authoritative and entertainingbook worth buying. Another evaluation of the book that is recommendedis the review by Rich Gotshall in the Indianapolis Star issue of Sunday,November 7, 1999. ... Read more |
