Book Description:

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.
