Cultural Criticism audiobooks

Arguments about taste, art and modern life.

Critics who took on their whole culture: John Ruskin's attacks on industrial ugliness, Matthew Arnold's Culture and Anarchy, James Huneker and Robert Louis Stevenson's essays. Sharp, opinionated writing that still reads like a conversation about how to live well in a changing world.
