Britpop and the English Music Tradition

Více o knize

Exploring the genre of Britpop, this volume argues that it emerged as a celebration of Englishness amidst the challenges to English cultural dominance during the 1990s. Contributors provide a fresh perspective, suggesting that Britpop was not merely a reaction to grunge but a significant cultural phenomenon reflecting the political and cultural shifts of the era. The book situates Britpop within the broader context of the last fifty years, examining the evolving definitions of British and English identity during a time of devolution and cultural transformation.
