Description
""Philadelphia Gentleman: The Making Of A National Upper Class"" by E. Digby Baltzell is a comprehensive study of the emergence of the American upper class in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Focusing on the city of Philadelphia, Baltzell explores the social, cultural, and economic factors that contributed to the rise of a new elite, and provides a detailed analysis of the values, attitudes, and lifestyles of this group.Drawing on extensive research and interviews with members of the Philadelphia upper class, Baltzell traces the evolution of this group from its origins in the old aristocracy of the East Coast to its emergence as a national elite in the post-World War II era. He examines the role of education, religion, and social clubs in shaping the values and identity of the upper class, and explores the ways in which this group has maintained its status and influence over time.Throughout the book, Baltzell provides vivid portraits of the individuals and families who make up the Philadelphia upper class, and offers insights into their motivations, aspirations, and challenges. He also examines the relationship between the upper class and other social groups, including the middle class, working class, and minorities, and considers the implications of this relationship for American society as a whole.""Philadelphia Gentleman"" is a seminal work in the field of sociology, and continues to be widely read and cited today. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of one of America's most influential social groups, and provides valuable insights into the dynamics of social class and power in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
