Sommario/riassunto |
|
This work traces significant changes in 20th-century American culture through the career of Gilbert Seldes. Seldes' book ""The Seven Lively Arts"" produced a wide debate among intellectuals about the so-called ""popular arts"" (film, broadcasting, cartoons) and their importance to American culture. |
