It will be a welcome addition to the literature and should easily be used in undergraduate courses on nineteenth-century American culture. -- Regina Morantz-Sanchez, University of Michigan\u003cbr\u003eThis fine book is both a useful summary and an original treatment of a uniquely interesting and pivotal period. -- James Hoopes, Babson College\u003cbr\u003eIn a comprehensive synthesis of recent scholarship as well as a reconsideration of sources from the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, George Cotkin provides an impressive interpretation of U.S. thought and culture at a time of intellectual upheaval and culture clash. . . .
