1. 1. A Sense Of Things

   The Object Matter of American Literature

   

   An examination of how material objects in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American culture and literature shape perception, identity, and social relations amid industrialization and consumer capitalism. Through close readings of realist and modernist texts and attention to visual culture and critical theory, it shows how commodities, souvenirs, and debris accrue affect and agency—especially when they resist use or command attention—reframing literary history around the aesthetics and ethics of object-worlds.
