504 | _aA classic of cultural criticism since its first appearance thirty years ago. It brings new vividness to the analysis and appreciation of mass culture. The motto is: no BS. None of the usual cloudy aesthetics, patronising standpoints and false comparisons. The lucid prose is an eye-opener. Arts in Society isn't only about style. The moral turning points of the 1960s and 70s are highlighted, culminating in the famous polemic by historian EP Thompson, denouncing Britain's penchant for national humbug and self-righteousness. | ||
