Wister set Romney in Philadelphia (called Monopolis in the novel) during the 1880s, when, as he saw it, the city was passing from the old to a new order. The hero of the story, Romney, is a man of "no social position" who nonetheless rises to the top because he has superior ability. It is thus a novel about the possibilities for meaningful social change in a democracy. 588 0 Print version record. 648 7 1800-1899|2fast 650 0 Social change|zPennsylvania|zPhiladelphia|y19th century |vFiction. 650 0 Social classes|zPennsylvania|zPhiladelphia|y19th century |vFiction. 650 7 Manners and customs.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 Social change.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01122310 650 7 Social classes.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01122346 651 0 Philadelphia (Pa.)|xSocial life and customs|y19th century |vFiction. 651 0 Philadelphia (Pa.)|y19th century|vFiction. 651 7 Pennsylvania|zPhiladelphia.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204170 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 Butler, James,|d1945- 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWister, Owen, 1860-1938.|tRomney. |dUniversity Park : Pennsylvania State University Press, ©2001|z0271021217|z9780271021218|w(DLC) 00140089 |w(OCoLC)45714897 914 ocn318589384 994 92|bGTK
