Description

Explore the complex reality of the 1920s with Babbitts and Bohemians from the Great War to the Great Depression. Published by Routledge, this book offers a fresh and informed account of a decade often viewed through a mythical lens. Elizabeth Stevenson provides a detailed look at a society defined by deep contrasts. While many remember the era as a time of singular excess, this work reveals a period of both political conformity and cultural revolt. You will learn about the conventional patterns followed in places like Main Street and Middletown, contrasted against the radical lifestyles of bohemians in Greenwich Village and expatriates in Paris. This book helps readers understand the tension between the majority enjoying the good life and those who were fervently scornful of it. It is a necessary read for anyone interested in the social and cultural shifts that shaped modern America during this transformative era.
