Description

Vintage early Penguin. Masterly survey of British popular culture after WWII- scholarly but literate and readable. ". a broad, detailed and perceptive description of a large section of the community - its culture, its habits, its traditions. Mass literacy has opened up new worlds to new readers. How far has it also been exploited to debase our standards and behaviour ? Magazines, books, films for the millions - has society benefited on balance or not ? ( 60+ years later , with even more access to instant media, these are still unanswered questions!) 384p. bibliography.index Previous owners name.
