The three decades before the Civil War have long been recognized as
a time of crucial change in American society. In this comprehensive
and insightful reinterpretation of antebellum culture, Anne C. Rose
analyzes the major shifts in intellectual life that occurred
between 1830 and 1860 while exploring three sets of concepts that
provided common languages_Christianity, democracy, capitalism.
Whereas many interpretations of American culture in this period
have emphasized a single theme or have been preoccupied with the
ensuing Civil War, Rose considers sharply divergent tendencies in
religion and politics and a wide range of reformers, authors, and
other public figures. She contends that although the key
characteristic of the society in which Americans explored their
ideas was openness, the freedom and creativity of antebellum
thought depended on conditions of cultural security. Including
works by African Americans, Irish Americans, Native Americans, and
Jewish Americans that have seldom been seen in relation to the
era's more famous masterpieces, Voices of the Marketplace provides
a clearer portrait of antebellum America.
