The focus of American
Civilization, edited by Allen F. Davis, is American cultural
history. In keeping with the interdisciplinary work in this field,
which characteristically brings together art history, literary history
and theory, and material culture, the titles in this series cover
diverse aspects of American experience—from attitudes toward
death to twentieth-century design innovations to images of country
life in art and letters to trade unions' reliance on religious discourse.
The series has been a pioneer in presenting work that uses photographs
as historical documents and from its inception has been firmly committed
to women's studies. As the first university press series in the
field, American Civilization provided the inspiration and
the standard for much of the interdisciplinary work developing in
the contemporary academy. |
