Tarkington chronicled Midwestern American life, and the changes wrought by the economic boom times following the Civil War and up to World War I. "The Flirt" was the first of his novels to be serialized in the Saturday Evening Post. The book contained characters and themes that paved the way for the Penrod stories, a group of tales drawn from the author's boyhood memories of growing up in Indiana. Cora, the title character, is the first choice of all the men in the small mid-western town. She knows this and is a like a kid in a candy store. She constantly flirts with one man and then runs to another when the excitement wears off. |
