Like Henry James, Ezra Pound, and T.S. Eliot, she left America for the Old World. Unlike them, she takes her leave from Modernism.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Tracy Chevalier belongs to the second AfterModernist generation. That can be inferred from the fact that her focus is on the plot. She is a brilliant author of stories, she creates characters, and she makes both story and heroes share a common sense of time. The subtlety of her understatements, however, as well as her intriguing endings betray her secret ties with writers like Henry James and Virginia Woolf.<\/p>\n<p>Those who will read this Tracy Chevalier Reader, which we are now publishing in both English and Romanian, will find in it both the old sense of suspense that made Henry Fielding so compelling, and the narrative secrecy which came into the novel with enigmatical Henry James.<\/p>\n<p>By publishing this anthology of Tracy Chevalier&#8217;s fiction, Contemporary Literature Press hopes to make its readers curious enough both to read Chevalier&#8217;s own novels and to go back in time, and read the Modernist books she must have fed on.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, the parallel texts in English and Romanian can teach the Romanian student of English, wherever he may be living, the secrets of the writer&#8217;s grammar and style.<br \/>\nLidia Vianu<br \/>\nTracy Chevalier.
