Holy Day, Holiday: The American Sunday
by Alexis McCrossen
Supplementing wide-ranging historical research with the elections and experiences of ordinary individuals, McCrossen traces conflicts over the meaning of Sunday that have shaped the day in the United States since 1800. She investigates cultural phenomena such as blue laws and the Sunday newspaper, alongside representations of Sunday in the popular arts. Holy Day, Holiday attends to the history of religion, as well as the histories of labor, leisure, and domesticity.
Alexis McCrossen is assistant professor in the Clements Department of History at Southern Methodist University, Dallas.
