The Anglomaniacs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780548493885)

The Anglomaniacs is a book written by Mrs. Burton Harrison that explores the phenomenon of ""Anglomania"" in America during the late 19th century. The book is a collection of essays and stories that examine the American fascination with all things British, including fashion, literature, and culture. Harrison argues that this fascination was driven by a desire to emulate the perceived sophistication and refinement of British society, and that it had a profound impact on American culture and society during this period. The book also explores the tensions and contradictions inherent in this fascination, as Americans struggled to reconcile their admiration for British culture with their own sense of national identity. Overall, The Anglomaniacs is a fascinating and insightful exploration of an important cultural phenomenon in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
