Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. Clean & tight copy, unread in FINE condition. "Politics have taken a cultural turn in America, and the arts are at the center of today's culture wars. In this book, some of our most prominent cultural critics explore the relationships between culture and politics as played out in the world of novels, television, museums and even fashion. The authors---John Simon, Greil Marcus, Marthur C. Danto, and other well-known commentators from across the political spectrum---examine the arts in their relation to democracy and consider whether and how they serve one another. The authors discuss such topics as high and popular culture in democratic America; the relation of democracy to classical music, jazz and folk music; and the artistic potential of the most democratic of all arts, the movies. All the essays are as entertaining as they are thoughtful. With its roots in popular sentiment, democracy will forever be entwined with art, a force that powerfully molds popular taste. DEMOCRACY AND THE ARTS speaks elegantly to that relationship and reminds readers of its enduring importance." Binding square & tight, sharp corners & crisp edges; book & jacket have small repaired cut at bottom of spine, near Fine & still quite presentable.
