John Carey delivers a critique of the response by early 20th century intellectuals and writers, including D H Lawrence, E M Forster, George Gissing, H G Wells and W B Yeats, to the rise of popular culture. Carey identifies those aspects of the shifting cultural landscape that provoked fear and loathing, such as universal education, suburban housing, tinned food, tabloid newspapers, popular fiction and photography and reveals how this revulsion infected their writing and creative output.
