Gilbert Seldes, the writer of The Stammering Century, writes:

    This ebook isn't really a checklist of the most important occasions in Ameri­can background during 
    the 19th century. it's curious about minor events, with the 
    cults and manias of that interval. Its personages are fans, and radicals, 
    and mountebanks. Its purpose is to attach those secondary movements 
    and figures with the first forces of the century, and to provide a 
    background in American background for the Prohibitionists and the Pente­costalists; 
    the diet-faddists and the purchasers in mail-order character; the play censors 
    and the Fundamen­talists; the free-lovers and eugenists; the cranks and 
    possibly the saints. Sects, cults, manias, routine, fads, religious 
    excitements, and the relation of every of those to the others and to the 
    orderly development of the United States are the subject.

The topic is naturally as well timed before everything of the twenty-first century as while the e-book first seemed in 1928. Seldes’s interested and infrequently sympathetic debts of dreamers, rogues, frauds, sectarians, madmen, and geniuses from Jonathan Edwards to the messianic assassin Matthias have validated The Stammering Century not just as a long-lasting contribution to American historical past yet as a vintage in its personal right.
