Highbrow/Lowbrow: The Emergence of Cultural Hierarchy in America FROM THE PUBLISHER
'Provides just the kind of balanced, historically informed assessment that can be of immediate value at a time when appeals to eternal truth fly thick and fast.'
FROM THE CRITICS
Michael Fellman - American Historical Review
This book, like all of Levine's work, invites us out to play. His writing is highly engaging, his argumentativeness provocative. Even in his lament he gives us hope, for he has written a high-minded and very American defense of the unforeclosed and pluralist potential of democratic culture.
Lisa Zeidner - Lisa Zeidner Philadelphia Inquirer
Levine offers a fascinating account of the nation's evolving artistic tastes and thereby challenges any aesthetic stormtrooper who would try to enforce an oversimplified notion of Culture�What [he] proves, compellingly, is that we should be less rigid in our aesthetic judgments.
Walter Kendricks - Walter Kendricks Village Voice Literary Supplement
Provides just the kind of balanced, historically informed assessment that can be of immediate value at a time when appeals to eternal truth fly thick and fast.
