Overview
At the millennium, Britain stands at a cultural cross-roads. There's been endless talk of cultural regeneration, Brit Pop, Cool Britannia. Now, in Brit.Cult, Andrew Calcutt offers a spirited and opinionated survey of Britain's real movers, shakers, and innovators, the cultural icons, touchstones, and shrines of what can truly be called British Pop Culture. Spanning the past three decades, nearly everything falls under Calcutt's steady gaze: bands, clubs, the cinema, television, sports, comedy, art, design, the press, celebrities, literature, subcultures, and more. A lively, informative guide that's also enormous fun to read. Among Andrew Calcutt's books are Cult Fiction: A Reader's Guide, White Noise, and Arrested Development.Book Details
