Using the case studies of William Morris, Cecil Sharp and Clough William-Ellis, Szczelkun challenges their often widely seen role as enlightened political artists. He persuasively argues that there is a classist agenda that includes concepts of good taste that amount to oppression of true working class culture. The work also grapples with class identity as a context for the author's critique. The book will certainly have you thinking carefully about taste, class and who dictates what is accepted culture. The book is tightly written, very readable and is a good start to exploring Szczelkun's other work.\" Richard Turner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Szczelkun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1870736710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781870736718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Szczelkun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Stefan Szczelkun","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939047211263,"sku":"9781870736718","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_738727b6-ad4f-4dd3-821d-dcd36c6042f6.jpg?v=1681439182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-conspiracy-of-good-taste-stefan-szczelkun-9781870736718","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
