Index


`Mass literacy has opened new worlds to new readers. How far has it also been exploited to debase standards and behaviour? Have the magazines, books, and films `for the million` proved on balance a social benefit or a social danger? When he began his researches into what the `masses` read about (and sing about) in these times Richard Hoggart found that popular literature must be related to the life and values of the people for whom it is produced. Drawing partly from his own boyhood experience, he portrays in fascinating detail the working class of Northern England, and their assumptions, attitudes, and morals.`
