University Press of Kansas Structuring Poverty in the Windy City Autonomy
Book SynopsisThe Great Chicago Fire in 1871 left tens of thousands without housing, food, fuel, or clothing. In the aftermath the mayor handed all relief duties to the commercial elite at the Chicago Relief and Aid Society. This was, as this study shows, a decision that ensured Chicago's physical rebuilding would be coupled with a rebuilding of the city's poor.Trade ReviewStructuring Poverty in the Windy City is a very important contribution to our knowledge of American, urban, and Chicago history at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries with the socially contested development of poverty law. Chicago and the United States more generally sought to control poverty by defining the autonomy which paid work conveyed; the virtue of women who were wives, housewives, and mothers; and the isolation of the growing African American population. It tried to regulate, if not eliminate, various forms of poverty under a theory developed by social scientists, journalists and public officials. This book should be read by those who care about Chicago history, urban history, and American history but also those who want to understand the development of law, public administration, and public policy."" - Dick Simpson, coauthor of Winning Elections in the 21st Century

University Press of Kansas The Moderate Imagination The Political Thought
Book SynopsisTaps archival materials and unread works from John Updike’s college years to offer a clearer view of his acute political thought and ideas. Updike's prescient literary imagination, Fromer shows, sensed the disappointments and alienation of rural white working- and middle-class Americans decades before conservatives sought to exploit them.Trade ReviewJohn Updike has long been acknowledged as one of the great American novelists of the twentieth century, even while his political insights have consistently been underappreciated. Yoav Frome's The Moderate Imagination delivers an important new understanding of Updike's political instincts and vision. This fuller and more rounded picture of Updike's literary intentions and his social and political insights will benefit even the experts." - Cal Jillson, author of The American Dream: In History, Politics, and Fiction"John Updike has long been regarded as one of America's great writers, but one whose domain was largely American domesticity. Fromer's book builds a compelling case for Updike also being one of America's great prescient writers - one who anticipated the current political state of events more than fifty years ago. 'More than anything,' Fromer writes, 'Updike's writings help illustrate the fundamental inability of more and more Americans to grasp, let alone cope with, profound transformations they could neither understand nor control.' This is a smart book that reads at times like the academic equivalent of a 'real page-turner." - James Plath, author of Conversations with John Updike and John Updike's Pennsylvania Interviews and R. Forrest Colwell Endowed Chair & Professor of English, Illinois Wesleyan University

Rlpg/Galleys The Shadow of a Dream and An Imperative Duty
Book SynopsisThese two nouvelles mark Howells'' plunge into psychological realism. Their themes-a triangle of tragic agonies with psychological insights intriguingly proto-Freudian, and a drama of miscegenation-are anything but the smiling, lightweight topics to which Howells has been supposed to have been confined. The maturity both of their art and of their moral insight lends them an impact much deeper and more permanent than that of the shriller, more merely commercial shocking fiction of our day. Edwin H. Cady''s introduction places the books in the context of the development of Howells'' life, work, art, thought, and sensibility. He helps the reader make immediate contact with the artistic methods and intentions of the author.
