More about the book
Exploring the undervaluation of ordinary life, this work critiques the dismissal of popular literature as "vulgar." It argues that while such literature may lack literary sophistication, it serves as a vital expression of collective imagination. The text contrasts past attitudes of the educated class, who ignored popular works, with the significance these narratives hold for millions. By highlighting this neglect, the author invites readers to reconsider the worth and impact of everyday stories in shaping cultural identity and imagination.
