2025 Reprint of the 1929 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. A classic, influential study of the average American town where the heart of America is located. In this famous study of day-by-day 'living' in a representative small American city, you may find a complete picture of our culture. Making a Home, Getting a Living, Training the Young, Spending Leisure, Carrying on Government, Religion--all these divisions of our complex round of life are examined in detail. Middletown: A Study in Modern American Culture, published in 1929 by sociologists Robert S. Lynd and Helen Merrell Lynd, is a groundbreaking sociological study that examines life in a typical American small town. Set in "Middletown"-a pseudonym for Muncie, Indiana-the book explores how industrialization, technology, and societal changes have impacted family life, work, education, religion, and leisure in the 1920s. By analyzing a broad spectrum of daily activities, the Lynds provide an in-depth portrait of American middle-class life, capturing the cultural shifts and tensions of the time. Middletown remains a classic, offering valuable insights into the roots of American culture and modern social dynamics.
