Издательство: The Macmillan Company

The editors have chosen more than 170 studies in social and cultural history written by respected scholars and incisive commentators such as Edward Gibbon, Johan Huizinga, G.M. Trevelyan, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., and Aldous Huxley – men whose primary concern is human behavior and the nature of human society. The editors have written an introduction to the collection as a whole, and to each of its seven parts, placing the readings in historical context. This book offers a wide-ranging yet detailed understanding of the forces of mass culture and social change through two millennia of human history. The History of popular Culture is a unique book: nothing comparable now exists. It offers unparalleled insights into the values, preoccupations and mores of man in different historical climates, as well as the factual bases for comparing and contrasting them. It shows the extent to which man has been able to develop freely his mental and spiritual capacities in the face of political and economic constraint.
