Description
Richard Hoggart's book made a tremendous impact when it first appeared in 1957. "Required reading for anyone concerned with the modern cultural climate," commented the Times Literary Supplement, of a study of the huge social changes of the first half of the 20th century. Mass literacy opened new worlds to new readers, but how far has it also been exploited to debase standards and behaviour? Hoggart explores an intriguing subject, and all these years after first publication it is still a work that rewards study.
