Show moreThis thesis situates the narratives of True Story magazine in the 1920s within and against the context of their surrounding advertisements in order to reveal a popular resistance to the logic of consumption that was aggressively marketed to working class readers at the turn of the century. I argue that while the confessional narratives of True Story magazine explore the possibilities of self reinvention and upward mobility in market society, they paradoxically reveal an anxiety about the veracity of the mass market's promises for sociocultural advancement via consumption. Further, I explore the trope of the self-constructed consumer persona in modernist fiction in order to tease out a thematic "preoccupation with inauthencity" that repeatedly begs attention not only in popular confessional magazines like True Story, but also in middle-market and canonical modernist novels such as Anita Loo's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, James Joyce's Ulysses, Ford Madox Ford's The Good Soldier, and William Faulkner's If I Forget Thee Jerusalem.

It states that the Catholic Church must be stopped through "Political Unity--of those people who see the menace to save the country." The letter states, "You are looked upon as a man on the right side; therefore you are invited to become affiliated (sic) with the Political Unity League" and assures the reader that "it is absolutely (sic) safe for you to be identified with this work for safeguards have been completely thrown around any possibility of your name becoming public as a member or worker." It continues by stating that "Much work must be done before the 1928 election" and that they do not want anything mailed out to fall into the wrong hands. The reverse has a handwritten list of names: J. A. Pfeiffer; Robert Hood, shops; M. Hannah, drug store; Leo Resmundo, L&N shop; Dr. Brunson, W. Bel.; Jim Godwin; C. H. Charles; Lula Nicholson, 1122 E. Gadsden (?); William Henderson, L&N shop
