Within the ephemera of the everyday—old photographs, circus posters, iron toys—lies a challenge to America’s dominant cultural memory. What this memory has left behind, Brown recovers in the “material unconscious†of Stephen Crane’s work, the textual residues of daily sensations that add up to a new history of the American 1890s.
