David Brown is Van Mildert Professor of Divinity at Durham University, and a Fellow of the British Academy.

Brown's observations are frequently striking and often sharp. We lurch from the first gay kiss in the television soap opera Eastenders to the symbolism of different cuts of jeans...this book is beautifully written, always thought-provoking, and displays vast, quirkily juxtapositioned erudition.
