Lynn Dumenil brings a fresh interpretation to a dramatic, important, and misunderstood decade. As her lively work makes clear, changing values brought an end to the repressive Victorian era; urban liberalism emerged; the federal bureaucracy was expanded; pluralism became increasingly important to America's heterogeneous society; and different religious, ethnic, and cultural groups encountered the homogenizing force of a powerful mass-consumer culture. \u003ci\u003eThe Modern Temper \u003c\/i\u003ebrings these many developments into sharp focus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Dumenil, Dumenil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0809015668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809015665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/1995 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/24\/1995 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/1995 pg. 525","brand":"Lynn Dumenil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992470454527,"sku":"9780809015665","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75103850-7786-41a1-9cf4-60b9f629667d.jpg?v=1683319122","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-modern-temper-lynn-dumenil-9780809015665","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
