Its wide-ranging themes include ''Englishness'', literary culture and its values, ''Americanisation'' and mass culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'I have nothing but praise for this book. I agree with almost every word of it, but I like to think that even those who will disagree with it - who may feel it is too generous to Priestley (especially the later, more embittered Priestley), or to interwar mass culture, or to his relationship with his audiences - will appreciate its humanity, its craft, its insight, and its scrupulous- ness.'
