The Triumph of Vulgarity Summary

The Triumph of Vulgarity: Rock Music in the Mirror of Romanticism by Robert Pattison (Associate Professor of English, Associate Professor of English, Long Island University)

Robert Pattison's new book discusses Romanticism, and the cross-currents between it and popular culture, using rock music as the main example. He shows that popular culture is not merely a continuation of folk culture or a spontaneous creation of the alienated masses, but a mirror-image of main-stream cultural doctrines.

The Triumph of Vulgarity Reviews

'This is a provocative, opinionated study about the origins of rock and about rock as an idea...He has produced a logical critical study, which, for all its paradoxes, many will find valid and stimulating.' Library Journal
'This is the most brilliant study yet written of the modern phenomenon of rock music.' National Review
'a fascinating speculation on the philosophical and literary roots of rock.' St Louis Post-Dispatch
'Pattison's analysis is provocative and insightful.' The World & I
'a very scholarly, almost impenetrable study that may disturb those who like to think of rock 'n' roll as here to stay ... The author should also be complimented on his research.' The Columbia Missourian Magazine
