"Explains brilliantly the structures and processes of middle-class
culture in historical perspective."--Robert Nye, Rutgers University
" This] illuminating study of the Swedish middle class around the
turn of the century . . . is one welcome sign that bourgeois, too,
are once again recognized as parts of society worth studying . . .
to be understood rather than to be savaged. Culture Builders is a
welcome sign of yet another development: the ease with which
historical studies may be integrated with neighboring
disciplines."--Journal of Modern History "The authors take an
impressively broad intellectual perspective. . . . The everyday
routines of bourgeoisie, peasantry, and working class are
dramatically portrayed through a skillful weaving together of
excerpts from ethnological archives, schoolbooks, memoirs, novels,
and etiquette manuals . . . provides insight into the sociocultural
complexities, conflicts, and contradictions that are ignored in
widely held national stereotypes."--American Anthropologist "Unites
historical and ethnological approaches so as to present a way of
life that will be of interest not only to scholars of Scandinavia
but to historians, sociologists, and everyone trying to describe
and interpret the bourgeois Western culture during the nineteenth
century."--Ethnos Jonas Frykman and Orvar Lofgren teach in the
Department of European Ethnology at the University of Lund, Sweden.
