- Deriving from a research project at Leeds in 2015 and subsequent visiting fellowship at the National Museum of American History, Washington DC, the following year, this book examines how the shopping cart became the ubiquitous image for global consumer culture. It combines literary analysis with studies of industrial literature and private correspondence that place the shopping cart in historical and cultural context. Over its five literary set pieces, it tells the story of the shopping cart and speculates as to its stubborn persistence.
