The real, the self, and commodity culture, 1880-1930 -- Whitman's natural history : specimen days and the culture of authenticity -- "I couldn't see no profit in it" : discourses of commoditization and authenticity in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn -- Connoisseurs and counterfeits : Edith Wharton's The house of mirth -- Dressing to kill : desire, race, and authenticity in Nella Larsen's Passing -- A world of wonders : collecting and the authentic self in The great Gatsby.
Focusing on texts written between 1880 and 1930, this book explores the concept of the 'counterfeit', both in terms of material goods and invented identities, and the ways that the acquisition of objects came to define individuals in American culture and literature.
