- W2485221526 abstract "In This Is on Me (1940), a combination of short stories and autobiography, Katharine Brush lightly explains that she lost prestige as an author during the Great Depression because “literary fashion and critical opinion underwent a change, and suddenly no short story had any merit of any kind unless it was about the underprivileged—with special emphasis on boxcar hoboes, for some reason. All else was trivial” (257). Brush’s remarks could also serve as an assessment of subsequent literary criticism about the decade, which tends to emphasize representations of poverty, labor, and radicalism. In contrast, this study starts by acknowledging that during the Depression, the middle and upper classes did not go away. As historian T. H. Watkins notes, If nearly 25 percent of the labor force was unemployed, after all, that left 75 percent making some kind of living—and some of the living was reasonably comfortable. If 300,000 businesses had gone under, there were still 1.9 million providing some kind of service or product—and some of those surviving businesses flourished. Though they found their fondest certitudes sorely tested, those in the upper levels of the middle class who had weathered the worst buffetings of the depression did not vanish into the unforgiving maw of history.
