Omschrijving
America at the last fin de siecle was in a period of profound societal transition. This is a wide-ranging anthology of essays, criticism, and fiction first printed in periodicals during those last remarkable years of the nineteenth century.
“A splendid collection! This combination of fiction, editorials, and essays offers multiple themes and insights into the concerns of 1890s America that still hold sway over the public imagination today.”— Emory Elliott, University of California, Riverside
“This excellent sourcebook covers a range of topics, from education to mental health, from labor and the city to reading and culture. A thorough and well-conceived collection.”—Priscilla Wald, author of Constituting Americans: Cultural Anxiety and Narrative Form
