Riassunto

This wide-ranging collection of essays has been organised so that a portrait of the twentieth century from an Anglo-American perspective emerges. It offers both a commentary on the century's political ideas and movements, and an insight into thepreoccupations or modish concerns of any one period. Mixing landmarks in literary criticism with playful, self-referential pieces, and the momentous with the trivial, the collection keeps alive one of the great quarrels of the century: between high and low culture.
