They resigned themselves to factories and urban life after millennia of farm work, and not all considered the change to be good. Selecting from sources in period literature, architecture, art, commercial culture, music and even dance, Koritz (English, Dew U.) focuses on how artists used a variety of media to express their concerns about new forces in economic and social life, including rationalized work process and the rise of the professional, the creation of mass markets and consumerism, and the urbanization of the majority of the population. She analyzes the anxieties expressed in such plays as O'Neill's The Hairy Ape and the popular plays of Rachel Crothers that considered the consequences of mass production for young affluent women expected to be good consumers. She examines the fear of female freedom as expressed by the Charleston and the choreography of Martha Graham, and explores the influence of the frightened public intellectual.
