Cover; Contents; List of Figures; Acknowledgements; Notes on Contributors; Introduction: Middlebrow Matters; Part I Cultural Contexts; 1 Middlebrow Reading and Undergraduate Teaching: The Place of the Middlebrow in the Academy; 2 Configuring Middleness: Bourdieu, l'Art Moyen and the Broadbrow; Part II Taste-Makers and Print CulturesI: UK; I: UK; 3 Cultural Hierarchies and the Interwar British Press; 4 Priestley and the Highbrows; 5 Aesthetics for Everyman: Arnold Bennett's Evening Standard Columns; 6 'A Strongly Felt Need': Wilfred Whitten/John O'London and the Rise of the New Reading Public

The literary 'middle ground', once dismissed by academia as insignificant, is the site of powerful anxieties about cultural authority that continue to this day. In short, the middlebrow matters. These essays examine the prejudices and aspirations at work in the 'battle of the brows', and show that cultural value is always relative and situational.
