the quality and quantity of bracewell's writing is brilliant. He has the right measure of verbose commentary and i love some of his word-creations. I was disappointed by the chronological charting of british culture but only because it quickly makes the book seem like well-trodden ground.
Brilliant, eclectic and beautifully written and referenced. Highly recommended.!!
Good stuff, if you ever wondered about the connection between Oscar Wilde and the English pop underground. A bit strained in my view, but if you want to know about groups called the Slits and Plastic Raincoat, now's your chance. As a bonus, there's no enclosed CD, so you don't feel obliged to listen to the music.
