Collins takes his place alongside Amy Kaplan and Walter Benn Michaels as an essential critic of turn-of-the-century American culture. A crucial contribution to studies of race, class, and temporality, this book recaptures the pluralist potentiality of American realism by offering a new literary history of everyday life. A tremendous achievement.--Gavin Jones, Stanford University
