The Culture Of The Bourgeoisie Gradually Came To Dominate European Society During The Nineteenth Century. Jonas Frykman And Orvar Lfgren Examine How This New Style Of Life Developed And How It Spread. They Focus On Swedish Society From 1880 To 1910, Conceptualizing Events And Behavior In A Way That Applies To Western Culture In General During That Era, And Illustrate Their Yhemeswith Contemporary Photographs. Through Their Interpretation, We Are Reminded That Middleclass Culture Is Only One Alternative Among Many, And Not Always The Best.Culture Builders Deals Primarily With The Ways In Which Ideas About The Good And Proper Life Are Anchored In The Trivialities And Routines Of Everyday Life: In The Sharing Of A Meal, In Holidaymaking, And In The Upbringing Of Children. The Authors Describe How The Attitudes Of The Bourgeoisie Toward. Time And Timekeeping Set Them Apart From The Peasantry. Uses And Perceptions Of Naturals Increasingly Divided The Classes. For Peasants, Nature Consisted Of Natural Resources To Be Used. Fr The Bourgeoisie, Nature Had Only Nonproductive Connotations. Another Change Was The Growing Importance Of Home Over The Community. Life Became A Romantic Ideal, Not An Economic Necessity. For The First Time, Parents Became Selfconscious About How To Raise Their Children.Frykman And Lgnen Also Show How The Middleclass Developed New Perceptions Of Dirt, Pollution, Orderliness, Health, Sexuality, And Bodily Functions, And How They Disdained The Filth Of Peasant Households. By Stressing Refinement, Rationality, Morality, And Discipline, The Middle Classes Were Able To Differentiate Themselves Not Only From The Peasants, But Also From The Degenerate Aristocracy And The Disordered And Uncontolled Emerging Working Class. The Bourgeoisie Viewed Their Own Form Of Culture As The Highest On The Evolutionary Ladder, And Turned It Into A National Culture Against Which All Other Groups Would Be Measured.
