Opis

In the midst of the United States' immense economic growth in the 1850s, Americans worried about whether the booming agricultural, industrial, and commercial expansion came at the price of cherished American values such as honesty, hard work, and dedication to the common good. This study examines how popular writers and widely read newspapers, magazines, and books expressed social tensions between prosperity and morality. The authors draw on that nationwide conversation through leading mass media, including newspapers such as the "New York Herald" and the "New York Tribune"; best-selling magazines aimed at middle-class tastes, "Harper's Magazine" and the "Southern Literary Messenger"; novels by women authors Susan Warner, Maria Cummins, and Harriet Beecher Stowe; and, works by novelist George Lippard, historian George Bancroft, and travel writer Bayard Taylor.
