Title: Middlebrow literary cultures
Description: The literary 'middle ground', once dismissed by academia as insignificant, is the site of powerful anxieties about cultural authority that continue to this day. In short, the middlebrow matters. These essays examine the prejudices and aspirations at work in the 'battle of the brows', and show that cultural value is always relative and situational.
