The Uses of Variety: Modern Americanism and the Quest for National Distinctiveness
Carrie Tirado Bramen
Amid the excesses of the Gilded Age, variety became for Americans a sign of national progress and development. Bramen pursues this idea through the works of regional and cosmopolitan writers, journalists, theologians, and politicians who rewrote the narrative of American exceptionalism through a celebration of variety.
