George Ade

    George Ade si affermò come un umorista di spicco che documentò il carattere americano durante un'era cruciale di trasformazione nazionale. Il suo lavoro osservò acutamente la migrazione dalle aree rurali verso città in espansione, in particolare Chicago, dove presero forma le sue opere di finzione più celebri. Ade rappresentò magistralmente una vasta commedia di costume che rifletteva sia il Midwest che la società americana della fine del XIX secolo. È riconosciuto come un realista e un colorista locale che ritrasse vividamente la vita e il carattere di Chicago e della regione circostante.
