Down With the Old Canoe: A Cultural History of the Titanic Disaster
Biel, Steven New York, New York W W Norton & Co Inc 1996 039303965X / 9780393039658 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good
; 300 pages with index; First Edition/First Printing; Black & white illustrations; Book block is tight with no names and no marginalia; Has small rub mark on one page (page 15), light wear at bottom-edge of back-free endpaper/paste-down endpaper & feint marks to fore-edge; Teal-colored boards with a black-cloth spine and title in silver to spine; Unfaded pictorial dust-jacket with no tears and modest shelf and edge wear including light wear to base of spine; We have placed the dust-jacket in a protective, removable, clear mylar cover; ... (A masterful cultural analysis of the Titanic disaster, including a clear-eyed examination of the ways in which meaning and marketability can go together. Dr. Biel demonstrates with wit and insight that from the moment the Titanic sank, it became a vessel for some Americans' extreme notions about commerce, politics, gender, race, class, technology and theology by sharing the shifting interpretations of generations. For example, Protestant sermons used it to condemn the budding consumer society stating things such as "we know the end of ...the undisturbed sensualists. As they sail the sea of life we know absolutely that their ship will meet disaster". African-American toasts and working-class ballads made the ship emblematic of the foolishness of white people and the greed of the rich, while others found heroism and order in the tale. Yes, the Titanic disaster still echoes within a richly diverse, paradoxical and fascinating America.)
