3.0 out of 5 stars
Impressive, but not quite my cup of tea,
By Allen Smalling "Constant Reader," (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brit Cult: An A-Z of British Pop Culture (Paperback)
Brit Cult was impressive, but not quite my cup of tea. I had hoped it would be an all-around Anglophile guide covering the past 30 years of British culture and society. What it does do (and does so very well) is talk about musical and artistic trends in the U.K. during that period. Thus we hear about all the many breakout trends in music that followed punk, and even the drug scene that accompanied it (3 pages on Ecstasy alone). There are, however, no entries for "Falklands," "Margaret Thatcher," or "Poll Tax."
If you already have a pretty good idea of what recent British pop music, art and literature is like, this book is a good investment. If not, it may be of limited usefulness. |
