Description

Just Looking examines the profound influence of early consumer society on late nineteenth and early twentieth century constructions of gender, commerce and culture across Britain, France and the United States. This Routledge Revivals edition, originally published in 1985, explores a central paradox of the era: the apparent contradiction between commerce and culture at a moment when commercial and cultural practices were increasingly intertwined. Focusing on novels by Theodore Dreiser, George Gissing and Emile Zola, the work draws on structural analysis to illuminate how consumer culture shaped artistic expression and social identity during this transformative period. Essential reading for students and scholars of literary theory, cultural history and the relationship between modernism and commerce.
