This lively and authoritative volume makes clear that the quest for taste and manners in America has been essential to the serious pursuit of a democratic culture. Spanning the material world from mansions and silverware to etiquette books, city planning, and sentimental novels, Richard L.

A work of immense and richly nuanced learning, The Refinement of America newly illuminates every facet of both our artifacts and our values.
