Editorial Reviews

An overview of American popular culture as it existed in the second decade of the 20th century. Separate chapters are devoted to advertising, architecture, fashion, food, leisure activities, literature, music, performing arts, travel, and visual arts. Two introductory chapters offer historical and contextual information. The survey nature of the material allows for little interpretative discussion and the text mainly confines itself to description. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Anyone interested in early-20th-century social or cultural history or popular culture will find this book a proverbial page-turbaner….Recommended for all general and academic levels/collections.” —Choice

“Many works deal with the flavor of the times through pictorial studies. Not this volume. It concentrates on an analysis of various topics and provides advanced essays for the serious researcher.” —Gale-Reference for Students
