Book Synopsis
Raising the Dust identifies a heretofore-overlooked literary phenomenon that author Beth Sutton-Ramspeck calls literary housekeeping. The three writers she examines rejected turn-of-the-century aestheticism and modernism in favor of a literature that is practical, even ostensibly mundane, designed to set the human household in order.T

Trade Review
“Raising the Dust is a scrupulously careful and deeply useful book. Sutton-Ramspeck daringly brings together disparate fields: American and British literature, progressive and conservative authors, domestic science and aesthetic paeans, cultural history and fiction. This interdisciplinary work, impressive in its own right, produces some quite exciting juxtapositions.”
