Argues that, in response to the scientific and cultural changes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many American thinkers came to conceive of the modern world as fundamentally fascinating. Drawing on an archive of primary texts, Kindig reconsiders what it meant for Americans to be modern at the turn of the twentieth century.
