American Guides: The Federal Writers' Project and the Casting of American Culture
ISBN: 9780226357836 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the midst of the Great Depression, Americans were nearly universally literate--and they were hungry for the written word. Magazines, novels, and newspapers littered the floors of parlors and tenements alike. With an eye to this market and as a response to devastating unemployment, Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration created the Federal Writers' Project. The Project's mission was simple: jobs. But, as Wendy Griswold shows in the lively and persuasive American Guides, the Project had a profound--and unintended--cultural impact that went far beyond the writers' paychecks. ...

Regionalism and the Reading Class
ISBN: 9780226309224 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Globalization and the Internet are smothering cultural regionalism, that sense of place that flourished in simpler times. These two villains are also prime suspects in the death of reading. Or so alarming reports about our homogenous and dumbed-down culture would have it, but as "Regionalism and the Reading Class" shows, neither of these claims stands up under scrutiny-quite the contrary.
Wendy Griswold draws on cases from Italy, Norway, and the United States to show that fans of books form their own reading class, with a distinctive demographic profile separate from the general public....
