Bibliographic Details Publisher: Rutgers Univ Pr Published date: 2001 Size: 6.25 x 9.5 inches Weight: 1.25 pounds Pages: 265 Similar books The Feminization of American Culture by Ann Douglas This modern classic by one of our leading scholars seeks to explain the values prevalent in today's mass culture by tracing them back to their roots in the Victorian era. As religion lost its hold on the public mind, clergymen and educated women, powerless and insignificant in the society of the time, together exerted a profound effect on the only areas open to their influence: the arts and literature. Women wrote books that idealized the very qualities that kept them powerless: timidity, piety, and a disdain for competition. Sentimental values that permeated popular literature continue to influence modern culture, preoccupied as it is with glamour, banal melodrama, and mindless consumption. Landscapes of the New West by Krista Comer American Women Writers and the Nazis by Thomas Carl Austenfeld Profound Science And Elegant Literature by Stephanie P. Browner West of the Border by Noreen Groover Lape Expanding the scope of American borderland and frontier literary scholarship, West of the Border examines the writings of nineteenth- and turn-of-the-century Native, African, Asian, and Anglo American frontier writers. This book views frontiers as "human spaces" where cultures make contact as it considers multicultural frontier writers who speak from "west of the border."
