Albion's Secret History: Snapshots of England's Pop Rebels and Outsiders

Guy Mankowski

4.9/5 (10333 ratings)

Description:'The book spans cultural touchstones from Evelyn Waugh to Gazelle Twin and opts instead to gaze in intellectual wonder at the British condition’s peculiarity. It acknowledges the strangeness of Britain in its current state but also conveys optimism for a better future. With such an array of talent and with forays into film, literature, and comedy, the running themes Mankowski draws from his varied subjects are as ambitious as they are thrilling. This book is about celebrating the unsung, and Mankowski has a knack for succinctly articulating what makes each one so special.' Pop Matters'The most illuminating odyssey through lost, hidden or forgotten English pop culture since Michael Bracewell's England Is Mine.' Rhian E. Jones, author of Clampdown: Pop-Cultural Wars on Class and GenderAlbion's Secret History compiles snapshots of English pop cultures rebels and outsiders, from Evelyn Waugh to PJ Harvey via The Long Blondes and The Libertines. By focusing on cultural figures who served to define England, Guy Mankowski looks at those who have really shaped Albions secret history, not just its oft-quoted official cultural history. He departs from the narrative that dutifully follows the Beatles, The Sex Pistols and Oasis, and, by instead penetrating the surface of Englands pop history (including the venues it was shaped in), throws new light on ideas of Englishness. As well as music, Mankowski draws from art, film, architecture and politics, showing the moments at which artists like Tricky and Goldfrapp altered our sense of a sometimes green but sometimes unpleasant land.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
