Literary Movement Research John Steinbeck's Cannery Row spotlights the legendary lane during its industrial heyday, but the street's true story begins long before canneries lined the former Ocean View Avenue. From Native American, Asian and European settlement, through the boom and bust of the whaling and sardine industries, to structural and economic despair followed by restoration and re-development, the tale of Cannery Row – so renamed by Monterey officials 13 years after the release of Steinbeck's novel – continues to fascinate guests. Here, past and present alike influence the architecture, cuisine and attractions as Cannery Row continues to celebrate the unshakable spirit on which it was founded. Around this time, jazz music was very popular. In small towns and restaurants it was the main thing involved in any life hobby. John wasn’t mainly focused on this time period to base his books on. Jazz wasn’t truly involved what so ever in his work. I thought that this time period was different than others because it involved more couples and interactions than just the writing period.
