For them, the city's immigrant neighborhoods--home to art, poetry, cafes, and cabarets in the European tradition--provided a place where the fancies and forms of a new America could be tested. Some called themselves Bohemians, some members of the avant-garde, but all took pleasure in the exotic, new, and forbidden. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eAmerican Moderns\u003c\/i\u003e, Christine Stansell tells the story of the most famous of these neighborhoods, Greenwich Village, which--thanks to cultural icons such as Eugene O'Neill, Isadora Duncan, and Emma Goldman--became a symbol of social and intellectual freedom. Stansell eloquently explains how the mixing of old and new worlds, politics and art, and radicalism and commerce so characteristic of New York shaped the modern American urban scene. \u003ci\u003eAmerican Moderns\u003c\/i\u003e is both an examination and a celebration of a way of life that's been nearly forgotten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Stansell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691142831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691142838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Christine Stansell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120042373375,"sku":"9780691142838","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cbfbe3fd-ff9e-4d86-b044-b0fc07dc95eb.jpg?v=1687412257","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-moderns-christine-stansell-9780691142838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
