About this title: American culture scholar M.H. Dunlop penetrates the psyche of New York City from 1880 through 1910, and showcases the preoccupations that riveted the public, including a wealthy society wedding where locals were trampled in their frenzy to watch, a bachelor dinner during which men sliced off the girl dancers' dresses, and more. Illustrations.

"If you want to know more about long-forgotten New York miscellany and minutiae, or have ever been curious as to whether Michael Musto would have had a career had he been born 100 years earlier instead, this is for you. Pulpy and fun."
"Overwrought. Hard to see how she missed the mark with such a promising subject. The arrangement of the book in chapters, each on a scandal or social phenomenon, makes the material seem fragmented and repetitive. The author tries terribly hard to shock the reader, but she ends up sounding like a maiden aunt addicted to racy romances. It's rather a mish-mash and nothing hangs together particularly well. A more competent treatment of even a handful of these scandals would be of greater interest."
