Music Hall And Modernity : The Late-victorian Discovery Of Popular Culture, Hardcover by Faulk, Barry J., ISBN 0821415859, ISBN-13 9780821415856, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK Faulk (English, Florida State U.) focuses on the critical response to the London musical hall of the late-Victorian era to examine the way discourse on music hall entertainment helped consolidate the identity and tastes of an emergent professional class. Reviewing fiction and performance criticism contemporary with the music hall, Faulk argues that writers and critics legitimatized that entertainment while allowing for negotiation of class, respect and empowerment. Faulk's work provides cogent insights on the concepts of the popular and on modernity. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
