Publisher Synopsis
`excellent and intelligent book'Times Literary Supplement `a real book, a good book. He is thoughtful and he makes you think. He sees the inherent triviality of his material, but sees in this a far from trivial question, "What is the use of bad art?" To raise the question at all is to give the book substance. It tells us that the material is going to be handled intelligently.'Review of English Studies Read more...
