Publisher's Synopsis
The Passing of Normalcy is a book written by Charles W. Wood that explores the changes in American society during the 20th century. The book examines the shift from traditional values and social norms to a more modern and progressive way of life. Wood argues that this transition was marked by a loss of innocence and a sense of normalcy, as well as the emergence of new cultural and political movements. Through a series of essays, the author analyzes various aspects of American life, including politics, religion, education, and popular culture. The book provides a thought-provoking and insightful look at the forces that have shaped American society over the past century, and offers a compelling perspective on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.1929.

It is a book about his marriage and what is happening to it, and about his wife and what is happening to her; also about his church and his religion and his hope for a life beyond. It is also a book about art and culture and patriotism and sex and sin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
