Description

Mixing landmarks in literary criticism with playful, self-referential pieces and the momentous with the trivial, this collection of essays keeps alive one of the great quarrels of the century - the differences between high and low culture. Contributors include G.K.Chesterton, Julian Barnes, Hannah Arendt, Martha Gelhorn among others.
