REFINEMENT OF AMERICA, THE(ISBN=9780679744146) 英文原版 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　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.
