"Jazz in the Time of the Novel" argues that a culture's
understanding of the concept of time plays a central role in its
economic, social, and aesthetic affairs and that a culture arrives
at its conception of time through its artistic practices. Bruce
Barnhart, in "Jazz in the Time of the Novel, " shows that American
culture of the first three decades of the twentieth century was
shaped by the kindred rhythms and movements of two particular art
forms: jazz and fiction. At the beginning of the twentieth century,
widespread changes in America's social, demographic, and economic
norms threatened longstanding faith in a unified and inevitable
movement towards a better future. As Barnhart shows both jazz and
novels of the period address these temporal uncertainties,
inserting themselves into arguments about the proper unfolding of
an affirmative American future. Barnhart proposes that these two
aesthetic forms can be viewed as co-participants in an ongoing
discussion about the way in which the future should be imagined and
experienced--a discussion symptomatic of the broader exchanges
taking place within the many trajectories comprising early
twentieth-century American culture. This book includes in-depth
approaches to numerous examples of jazz and the novel, including
performances by James P. Johnson, Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith,
Duke Ellington, and Ethel Waters, and novels by James Weldon
Johnson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and
Nella Larsen, among others. In addition to the details of specific
musical and literary works, "Jazz in the Time of the Novel" offers
careful consideration as to how these works impact their social
context.
Romanticism is as rife in Civil War history as any other and may
produce more than its share of drums and trumpets writing that
glosses over the fear, pain, and death that are inevitable
components of all warfare. The essays that make up this collection
seek to act as corrective to such celebratory history by carefully
examining some of the unpleasant realities that marked combat in
the Civil War - when industrial and technological warfare came of
age, at a time when medical care, sanitation, diet, and other
modern adaptations to industry were still in their infancy. In
addition to an introduction, an afterword, and an essay on the
'Numbers' by editor Gramm, Paul Fussell contributes a powerful
essay on 'The Culture of War'; D. Scott Hartwig examines the face
of battle at Gettysburg; Bruce A. Evans discusses 'Wounds, Death,
and Medical Care in the Civil War' ; Eric T. Dean rethinks the
meaning and consequences of combat in 'The Awful Shock and Rage of
Battle' ; and Alan T. Nolan looks at the national consequences of
battle and the resultant myth of the Lost Cause.
