Inventing Popular Culture by John Storey

Inventing Popular Culture by John Storey

Presents the history of the idea of popular culture. This book traces the invention and reinvention of the concept of popular culture from the eighteenth-century 'discovery' of folk culture to accounts of the cultural impact of globalization. It argues that the idea of popular culture is an invention of intellectuals.

“John Storey's lively and provocative history of popular culture is interwoven with a characteristically clear and intelligent critique of the politics of its operationStorey remains one of the most lucid and readable writers to be found in cultural studies, and this is a wonderfully tight, punchy, and illuminating book.” Graeme Turner, University of Queensland

“Storey accomplishes something truly unprecedented in this book as he traces the evolution of the idea of popular culture. His cogent analyses of the key polemics are compelling because they demonstrate so vividly why we still need cultural studies, if for no other reason than to better understand how intellectuals imagine ordinary people.” Jim Collins, University of Notre Dame

"An excellent resource for academic libraries; as an introduction to cultural studies, this is hard to beat." Library Journal
