J. Jackson Learss No Place of Grace, first published in 1981, is a seminal work in American studies and history, renowned for its rigorous research and the elegant fluidity of its prose. This groundbreaking study explores the responses to the emerging culture of corporate capitalism at the turn of the twentieth century. No Place of Grace meticulously charts the development of contemporary consumer society through the embrace of antimodernism, a movement among middle- and upper-class Americans seeking to reclaim authentic experiences. While antimodernism did not offer true resistance to the increasingly corporatized bureaucracy of the time, it played a therapeutic role, helping Americans adapt to the new order. This therapeutic approach foreshadowed the self-help culture that prevails today. Moreover, antimodernism introduced a new dynamic, characterized by an \"eloquent edge of protest,\" which can still be observed in anticonsumerism, sustainable living, and other practices. To commemorate the fortieth anniversary of this extraordinary work, this new edition features a lively and insightful foreword by Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 592g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 228 x 24 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780226794440\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Enlarged ed\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T J Jackson Lears","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095402279162,"sku":"9780226794440","price":22.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/d6df80a68dd2ba39bb63f3ed96bd3b05.jpg?v=1633576241","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/no-place-of-grace-antimodernism-and-the-transformation-of-american-culture-1880-1920","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
