The Conspiracy Of Good Taste: William Morris, Cecil Sharp, Clough Williams-ellis........
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
"The Conspiracy of Good Taste is a passionate analysis of the way working class culture has been appropriated and sanitised by middle class mediators of taste. Using the case studies of William Morris, Cecil Sharp and Clough William-Ellis, Szczelkun challenges their often widely seen role as enlightened political artists. He persuasively argues that there is a classist agenda that includes concepts of good taste that amount to oppression of true working class culture. The work also grapples with class identity as a context for the author's critique. The book will certainly have you thinking carefully about taste, class and who dictates what is accepted culture. The book is tightly written, very readable and is a good start to exploring Szczelkun's other work." Richard Turner Hardback, no dust jacket. No owner markings. A very good copy.
