(Revisionist Press bicentennial series.) 347 pages. Notes. Bibliography. Index. An in-depth study of the book publishing activity in turn-of-the 20th-century America until the First World War, during which time romance fiction predominated, countering the new realism movement. This book is a cultural study of how popular values and American identity were both reflected in and influenced by this fiction trend. ~~ This book itself represents an interesting event in publishing. Revisionist Press published unusual books for high prices, and had a reputation for poor order fulfillment. This led to a conspiracy theory that it was a front for a government watch list for buyers of books of certain subjects. The company folded in 2001.
