The middle decades of the 19th century have often been overlooked in discussions of the development of American consumer culture. But with popular sentimental productions leading the way, the mid-19th century witnessed significant changes both in the availability of consumer goods and in how those objects were perceived. Sentimental productions (literary, graphic, plastic, dramatic, and musical) both thematized and helped enable this diffusion of goods by redefining the ways objects could be seen as meaningful. Through the trope of the sentimental relic (seen in the poetry of Lydia Sigourney and Frances Osgood, and in Maria Cummins's novel The Lamplighter), sentimentalism outlined a generalizable model of the meaning of both objects and the domestic practices that surrounded them. This focus on the object reciprocally influenced narrative form by means of the "frozen" moments of the sentimental sublime, seen in the popular mid-century fashion for tableaux vivants.

520 $a The middle decades of the 19th century have often been overlooked in discussions of the development of American consumer culture. But with popular sentimental productions leading the way, the mid-19th century witnessed significant changes both in the availability of consumer goods and in how those objects were perceived. Sentimental productions (literary, graphic, plastic, dramatic, and musical) both thematized and helped enable this diffusion of goods by redefining the ways objects could be seen as meaningful. Through the trope of the sentimental relic (seen in the poetry of Lydia Sigourney and Frances Osgood, and in Maria Cummins's novel The Lamplighter), sentimentalism outlined a generalizable model of the meaning of both objects and the domestic practices that surrounded them. This focus on the object reciprocally influenced narrative form by means of the "frozen" moments of the sentimental sublime, seen in the popular mid-century fashion for tableaux vivants.
520 $a Changing concepts of what objects were and what significance they could have are also seen in readings of popular 19th-century sheet music. The growing perception of music as the most sublime of arts entailed a redefinition of what music was. Drawing on Lydia Goehr's account of the "musical work," I juxtapose music as a sublime object against the habits and practices surrounding individual purchase and use of sheet music, especially the practices of individualizing songs and creating personal bound volumes of sheet music.
520 $a As the 19th century drew to a close, powerful scientific and economic discourses offered new ways to explain and describe the meaning of objects, individually and en masse. A reading of Frank Norris's The Pit looks at how Norris adapted popular Spencerian writings for a materialist account of the ways mass commodity flows were entangled with conceptions of the self.
