Booth Tarkington Hoosier Connection: Booth Tarkington was a native Hoosier whose work continually reflected his homeland connections to Indianapolis . Indiana figures strongly in his writings, either as a vivid backdrop to his narratives or as a focus for his storylines. Works Discussed: The Gentleman from Indiana The Conquest of Canaan The Turmoil The Magnificent Ambersons Born on July 29, 1869, in Indianapolis , Indiana, Booth Tarkington entered a world that would change just as quickly as he would grow. When first becoming aware of Indianapolis, it was simply a “large country town… but grew during Tarkington’s lifetime to be a thriving industrial and commercial city" (Woodress 299). This rapid growth of his surroundings affected the way that he interpreted his environment, and this change became a focal point in a number of Tarkington’s novels. The way that Tarkington reacted to his surroundings can be traced to how he incorporated them into his work. In his earlier novels, such as

Tarkington, [Newton] Booth Tarkington, [Newton] Booth (1869-1946), novelist and playwright, spent his first two years of college at Purdue, his last two at Princeton. He was a founder of the Triangle Club, and editor of the Nassau Literary Magazine, a contributor of humorous drawings and literary wit to The Tiger, and the most popular man in his class. Bliss Perry said he was ``the only Princeton man who had ever been known to play poker (with his left hand), write a story for the Nassau Lit (with his right hand), and lead the singing in a crowded room, performing these three acts simultaneously.'' These pleasurable activities Tarkington carried on at some expense to his studies, and when his class graduated in 1893 he lacked sufficient credits for a degree. His later achievements, however, won him an honorary A.M. in 1899 and an honorary Litt.D. in 1918. Tarkington's singing of Kipling's ballad, ``The Hanging of Danny Deever'' was a highlight of student life in his time. Sooner or later, when the seniors gathered on the steps of Nassau Hall for their singing, the call would go up ``Tark! Tark! Danny Deever!'' and although he would always protest and suggest another song and sometimes even try to slink away his classmates would call for him until he had performed. In later years at class reunions the cry continued, and as one of his classmates related in the Alumni Weekly

The Turmoil Booth Tarkington Introduction by Lawrence R. Rodgers A familiar midwestern novel in the tradition of Sherwood Anderson and Sinclair Lewis, The Turmoil was the best-selling novel of 1915. It is set in a small, quiet citynever named but closely resembling the author's hometown of Indianapolisthat is quickly being transformed into a bustling, money-making nest of competitors more or less overrun by "the worshippers of Bigness." "There is a midland city in the heart of fair, open country, a dirty and wonderful city nesting dingily in the fog of its own smoke," begins The Turmoil, the first volume of Pulitzer Prize-winner Booth Tarkington's "Growth" trilogy. A narrative of loss and change, a love story, and a warning about the potential evils of materialism, the book chronicles two midwestern families trying to cope with the onset of industrialization. Tarkington believed that culture could flourish even as the country was increasingly fueled by material progress. The Turmoil
