{"product_id":"american-snobs-emily-coit-9781474475402","title":"American Snobs: Transatlantic Novelists, Liberal Culture and the Genteel Tradition","description":"Arguing that Henry Adams, Henry James and Edith Wharton articulated their political thought in response to the liberalism that reigned in Boston and, more specifically, at Harvard University, this book shows how each of these authors interrogated that liberalism's arguments for education, democracy and the political duties of the cultivated elite. Coit shows that the works of these authors contributed to a realist critique of a liberal New England idealism that fed into the narrative about 'the genteel tradition', which shaped the study of US literature during the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Coit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147447540X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474475402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Emily Coit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990895198463,"sku":"9781474475402","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5757e0ea-b301-4906-9d5d-0a9d9733bee3.jpg?v=1683307295","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-snobs-emily-coit-9781474475402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
