Automobile collisions and occupational injuries became "car accidents" and "industrial accidents." During the post-Civil War period of racial, ethnic, and class-based hostility, chance was an abstract enemy against which society might unite. By producing chance, novels by William Dean Howells, Stephen Crane, Anna Katharine Green, Edith Wharton, Theodore Dreiser, and James Cain documented and helped establish new modes of collective interdependence. Chance here is connected not with the competitive individualism of the Gilded Age, but with important progressive and social democratic reforms, including developments in insurance, which had long employed accident narratives to shape its own "mutual society." Accident Society reveals the extent to which American collectivity has depended?and continues to depend?on the literary production of chance. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChance in literature 606 $aRealism in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChance in literature. 615 0$aRealism in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 676 $a813.009 700 $aPuskar$b Jason Robert$01551897 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781980203321 996 $aAccident society$93811598 997 $aUNINA
