Colour illustrated paperback binding with black coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. "In this groundbreaking study of the roots of modern American culture, historian T. J. Jackson Lears explores the subject of anti-modernism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He illustrates the ways in which anti-modernism, manifested in such things as the retreat to oriental or mediaeval 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." -- from rear panel blurb. Minor creasing of the book corners with the front panel starting to curl. Rubbing of the book edges and panels with tanning of the text block edges and pages.
