Media Reviews
"The fourth volume in Gay's series on 19th-century bourgeois culture: readable and intelligent, though debatable in its methodology."
-- Kirkus
"The fourth volume of Peter Gay's monumental study of the Victorian century is a worthy companion to its three predecessors. 'The Naked Heart' further demonstrates in Gay's elegant and richly detailed prose that the 19th-century middle class was not as repressed and conformist as has been supposed....Peter Gay is a supreme stylist and always a joy to read."
-- San Francisco Review of Books

The Middling Sorts
by
According to our national myth, all Americans are "middle class," but rarely has such a widely-used term been so poorly defined. Do we identify the middle class by a house in the suburbs, a white collar job, or a political outlook that is right-of-center? Or is the middle class in fact more complex? In an effort to bring greater clarity to our understanding of what it means to be middle class, the scholars assembled in The Middling Sorts approach the concept as a group of culturally contested ideas, practices, and things. Whether they focus on the antebellum middle class, male corporate culture, or the subtle resistance of Cold War housewives, the contributors - who are among the hottest social and cultural historians of the United States at work today - provide much-needed context to the subject of class in America.
