The changing styles of middle-class home entertainments, Melanie Dawson argues, point to evolving ideas of class identity in US culture. ""Laboring to Play"" deals with subjects as wide ranging as social performances, social history (etiquette and gentility), literary history, representations of childhood, and the history of the book.
