Description
Vanishing Moments analyzes how various American authors have reified class through their writing, from the first influx of industrialism in the 1850s to the end of the Great Depression in the early 1940s. Eric Schocket uses this history to document America?s long engagement with the problem of class stratification and demonstrates how deeply America?s desire to deny the presence of class has marked even its most labor-conscious cultural texts.
