Venturing well beyond familiar characters and places, the authors introduce Choctaws in the old southwest and French Canadians in Vermont, and examine cultural sites ranging from urban theaters and rural parlors to animal shows and the pages of temperance novels. In the process, they model different approaches to writing cultural history, from close textual analysis to the history of communications. -- Scott Casper, author of Constructing American LivesAn important collection of the latest work by historians who seek to understand the cultural changes wrought by the advent of market capitalism in the United States. * Journal of American History *Martins collection offers great insight into how different people used the market for a variety of purposes, including efforts to curb it by expanding opportunity for some groups, socially excluding others, achieving moral reformation, and attaining civility. * Journal of the Early Republic, Fall 2006 *This seamlessly crafted collection is sure to attract a wide readership among scholars and students interested in the market revolution.
