内容説明
Between the Civil War and World War I, David Leverenz maintains, the corporate transformation of American work created widespread desire for upward mobility along with widening class divisions. In his view, several significant narrative constructs, notably the daddy's girl and the daddy's boy, emerge at the intersection between paternalist practices and more democratic possibilities for self-advancement. From Mark Twain's Laura Hawkins in "The Gilded Age" to the protagonist of Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie and Willa Cather's Alexandra Bergson in "O Pioneers!", Leverenz finds that the image of the daddy's girl constrains the emerging threat of the career woman even as it articulates the lure of upward mobility for women. In surveying the figure of the "daddy's boy", Leverenz examines tensions between young men's desires for upward mobility and older men's desires for paternal control. "Paternalism Incorporated" also addresses yearnings for individualism and paternalism in various critiques of the emerging corporation. Another chapter links honour and shaming to race in the philanthropic practices of Andrew Carnegie and John D.
Rockefeller, framed with narratives by William Dean Howells, Booker T. Washington, and Jane Addams. After showing how a daddy's girl becomes a paternalist in Henry James's "The Golden Bowl", Leverenz considers F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender is the Night" as paternalism's elegy, contrasted with the Shirley Temple film "The Little Colonel".
