Preview The Eloquence of the Vulgar: Language, Cinema and the Politics of Culture

Description:
In The Eloquence of the Vulgar, the distinguished academic Colin MacCabe reflects on cultural change from Shakespeare to Derek Jarman, on the institutional forms of knowledge, on the links between popular and elite art, and on the role of the intellectual in contemporary life.A radical argument emerges from the book's diverse concerns.

What is at stake is the very idea of a liberal and humane education.
