The Intellectuals and the Masses: Pride and Prejudice Among the Literary Intelligentsia, 1800-1939
Low stock: 1 left
"John Carey's assault on the founders of modern culture caused consternation throughout the artistic and academic establishments when it was published in 1992. Professor Carey shows how early twentieth-century intellectuals imagined the 'masses' as semi-human swarms, drugged by popular newspapers and cinema, and ripe for extermination. Exposing the revulsion from common humanity in George Bernard Shaw, Ezra Pound, D.H. Lawrence, E.M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, W.B. Yeats and other canonized writers, he relates this to the cult of the Nietzchean Superman, which found its ultimate experience in Hitler." -- Cover page 4.
