Title
From Front Porch to Back Seat: Courtship in TwentiethCentury America,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From gentleman callers to big men on campus, from Coke dates to 'parking,' From Front Porch to Back Seat is the vivid history of dating in America. In chronicling a dramatic shift in patterns of courtship between the 1920s and the 1960s, Beth Bailey offers a provocative view of how we sought out matesand of what accounted for our behavior. More than a quartercentury has passed since the dating system Bailey describes here lost its coherence and dominance. Yet the legacy of the system remains a strong part of our culture's attempt to define female and male roles alike.
