The World Through A Monocle by Mary F. Corey
The New Yorker at Midcentury
A cultural history of The New Yorker at midcentury, this study shows how the magazine cultivated an urbane, upper-middle-class sensibility that prized taste, leisure, and cosmopolitan detachment while discouraging radical politics. Through close readings of columns, cartoons, profiles, and advertising, it reveals how the publication framed class, gender, and international travel, turning consumption into a marker of sophistication and shaping readers’ ideas about status and the wider world from the 1930s to the 1950s.
