Linking classic American literature to contemporary popular culture, Sublime Enjoyment argues that the rational systems of normal social life are motivated and sustained by 'perverse' desires. Examining the ways in which this inadvertence is represented in American literature and culture, Dennis Foster shows how longings are linked to social forces.
