As in the original Anthology, the lives and relationships of the citizens of Spoon River are interwoven; but here the view that emerges is of a town's response to the encroachments of industry and urban life.

Masters describes the people who leave, the new people who come in, those who adjust, others who insulate themselves and cling to the old Spoon River. The result is an unforgettable portrayal of a small American town in the 1920s--and of the painful clash of conflicting values in American life.
