This collection gathers the best of Teachout's writings from the past fifteen years. In each essay he offers lucid and balanced judgments that invariably illuminate, sometimes infuriate, and always spark a response--the mark of a critic whose thoughts, however controversial, cannot be ignored. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a thoughtful introduction to the book, Teachout considers how American culture of the twenty-first century differs from that of the last century and how the information age has altered popular culture. His selected essays chronicle America's cultural journey over the past decade and a half, and they show us what has been lost--and gained--along the way. With highly informed opinions, an inimitable wit and style, and a genuine devotion to all things cultural, Teachout offers his readers much to delight in and much to ponder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Teachout\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300098944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300098945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.34h x 5.80w x 1.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/11\/2004 pg. 16","brand":"Terry Teachout","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057811779839,"sku":"9780300098945","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ef439b7-7290-4567-880f-a088d009aec4.jpg?v=1685049006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-terry-teachout-reader-terry-teachout-9780300098945","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
