REFINEMENT OF AMERICA, THE(ISBN=9780679744146) 英文原版 mobi 下载 fb2 夸克云 azw3 网盘 pdf pmlz

　　This lively and authoritative volume makes clear that the

quest for taste and manners in America has been essential to the

serious pursuit of a democratic culture. Spanning the material

world from mansions and silverware to etiquette books, city

planning, and sentimental novels, Richard L. Bushman shows how a

set of values originating in aristocratic court culture gradually

permeated almost every stratum of American society and served to

prevent the hardening of class consciousness. A work of immense and

richly nuanced learning, The Refinement of America newly

illuminates every facet of both our artifacts and our values.
