In this groundbreaking study of the roots of modern American culture, historian I J. Jackson Lears explores the subject of anti-modernism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He illustrates the ways in which antimodernism, manifested in such things as the retreat to Oriental or medieval cultures, the pursuit of intense forms of physical or spiritual experience, or the re-creation of a sense of self-sufficiency through the Arts and Crafts movement, had the unintended effect of helping to ease Americans accommodation to the consumer society of the twentieth century.
