Page 4 - Myths for the Masses An Essay on Mass Communication

Blackwell Manifestos

In this new series major critics make timely interventions to address
important concepts and subjects, including topics as diverse as, for
example: Culture, Race, Religion, History, Society, Geography,
Literature, Literary Theory, Shakespeare, Cinema, and Modernism.
Written accessibly and with verve and spirit, these books follow
no uniform prescription but set out to engage and challenge the
broadest range of readers, from undergraduates to postgraduates,
university teachers and general readers – all those, in short, inter-
ested in ongoing debates and controversies in the humanities and
social sciences.
