    "Say "America" and certain adjectives come readily to mind. Because of the nation's wealth, energy, and global presence during the twentieth century almost everyone has a view of America. This introduction to American literature and culture addresses four common conceptions of the United States: that it is "big," "rich," "new," and "free." Designed to illustrate the artistic and social climate in the USA from 1900 to 1960, the book discusses a range of artistic and cultural productions from the period that reinforce, revise, dispute, or deny these commonly held views of the country."--Jacket 1. Big : Expansion and its discontents -- The city -- Representing nature -- Apocalypse -- The sense of place -- 2. Rich : Weber and Veblen: Reasons to work and reasons to spend -- USA -- Work and identity -- Labor reform -- Consumption and identity -- 3. New : Beginning anew: Crevecoeur and Hawthorne -- Young America -- Making it new I: literary modernism -- Making it new II: the other arts -- 4. Free : The multiple meanings of freedom -- War and the affirmation of American values -- Writing war -- Upstream against the mainstream -- "An inescapable network of mutuality."
