The Leisure Ethic: Work and Play in American Literature, 1840-1940 By William Gleason
 The Leisure Ethic: Work and Play in American Literature, 1840-1940 By William Gleason Stanford University Press | 1999-01-01 | ISBN : 0804734348 | 468pages | 3.41mb At the turn of the last century, as routinized industrial labor made a mockery of the gospel of work, Americans increasingly sought fulfillment not on the job but in their leisure activities. This book explores the multiple and, at times, contradictory tensions surrounding this turn to play and examines their impact on nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century American literature. Arguing that American writers participated in the ongoing debates over labor and leisure more strenuously than is commonly understood, the author shows how literary narratives both responded to and helped shape the emerging gospel of play.
