Reviews
"Bread and Circuses is a valuable analysis of attitudes toward not only mass culture but also theories of social order, utopian (and dystopian) possibilities, and the connections between literature and politics."-Criticism, "Bread and Circuses is a joy to read. Brantlinger is learned, witty, and, best of all, inviting of conversation."-Voice Literary Supplement, "Brantlinger's substantial insights are worthy of reflection-insights, for example, on the equivocal position of religion vis--vis elitism and mass culture or the hitherto insufficiently noted recurrence of classicist nostalgia in essentially nonclassicist ages. The book remains useful and thought-provoking."-American Historical Review

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
