- catalog description ""One of this book's major concerns is descriptive -- to evoke the often gritty texture of life as Americans of the early nineteenth century experienced it. The other is interpretive -- to find and show underlying patterns of historical change in the 'infinite details' of social and material arrangements. It tries to weave the disparate threads of ordinary life into the already rich and complicated tapestry of American history during a period which Stowe long ago recognized as 'a transition time of society" -- Introd.".
- catalog description ""The line between everyday life and the wider themes of social transformation is not always easy to draw, but this book tries to maintain its focus on the taken-for-granted, the ordinary aspects of social existence. Aiming principally at an audience of nonspecialists, it avoids historiographical debates and most of the technical details of analysis and evidence. consequently, it has run the risks of summarizing, synthesizing and sometimes simplifying a great deal of excellent and specialized scholarship" -- Introd.".
