In Masculine Style: The American West and Literary Modernism, Daniel Worden argues for the importance of "cowboy masculinity," as dramatized in late nineteenth-century dime novels, to the writings of Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, Nat Love, Theodore Roosevelt, John Steinbeck, and Owen Wister . Masculine Stylepresents a groundbreaking account of masculine self-fashioning in American literature and positions the American West as central to modernism.
