About This Item
New York, NY: W.W. Norton & Company, 1996 W.W. Norton & Company, New York. 1996. Softcover/Trade Wraps. First Printing. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for former owner name on FFFP. Book Condition: Fine. No DJ. Pictorial Wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split. 463 pp. The author explores the bourgeoisie's turn inward. At the very time that industrialists, inventors, statesmen, and natural scientists were conquering new objective worlds, "the secret life of the self had grown into a favorite and wholly serious indoor sport." Following the middle class's preoccupation with inwardness through its varied cultural expressions (fiction, art, history, autobiography) the author turns to the letters and confessional diaries of both obscure and prominent men and women. These revealing documents help to round out a sparking portrait of an age. A clean pristine edition.
