"A fresh, original, and important revisionist literary history. Francesca Sawaya explores the ways that corporate-based philanthropy emerges from, without fully displacing, older forms of cultural sponsorship like patronage. By discussing how this new philanthropy intersects with the careers of key turn-of the-century writers and is manifested in some of the major fictions by these writers, Sawaya tells a new story about this period-and about American literary history generally-that is anchored in illuminating rereadings of fictional texts." (Kenneth W. Warren, University of Chicago)
