Description

Explore the historical relationship between business and American society through this academic study. Originally published in 1987, this Routledge Revival examines how the concept of the 'gospel of wealth' shaped the literature of Theodore Dreiser and his contemporaries. This book places these writers within their specific historical context to show how wealth was portrayed as a quasi-religious quest. It tracks the evolution of how economic success was viewed in American fiction, moving from associations with avarice and dishonor toward representations of thrift, prudence, and diligence. For students and researchers of American literature and business history, this text provides a deep look at how the businessman became a central figure in the national narrative. It offers a clear analysis of how novelists used their work to reflect changing social attitudes toward money and status.
