No Place of Grace: Antimodernism and the Transformation of American Culture, 1880-1920

This book profoundly altered the way I think about America at the turn of the 20th century, and also how I go about writing history myself. Weaving insights from psychoanalysis, sociology, literary theory, and cultural history, Lears creates a topical history that resists telling history with a simple narrative arc, even as it utilizes the narratives of the lives of exemplary figures. Half history, half theory, No Place of Grace is a deeply moral work that makes a case for spirituality and the quest for meaning.
