"The Making of English Popular Culture explores the complex dynamics that characterised the emergence of popular culture in the 19th century. With 14 articles on a vast range of popular cultural practices and an introduction that provides an up-to-date theoretical framework, Storey once again succeeds in presenting a fascinating book for academics, students and the general public alike."Thomas Kühn, Chair of British Cultural Studies, Institute of English and American Studies, TU Dresden"From music hall to seaside holidays, from boys’ comics to the phonograph: this book offers a series of fascinating and wide-ranging essays on the pre-history of our popular culture. In the best tradition of cultural studies, it is historically grounded and richly detailed but also full of contemporary political and cultural resonances." Joe Moran, Professor of English and Cultural History, Liverpool John Moores University "It would be hard to do justice to a book of this breadth and depth in just a few words but it represents and excellent and wide-ranging collection of essays which result in a volume of great coherence. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the historical origins of an impressive range of popular cultural forms in Britain stemming from the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution. It also responds in an admirable way to Stuart Hall’s imperative to ‘always historicize’."David Walton, President of the Iberian Association of Cultural Studies and Senior Lecturer in Cultural Studies, University of Murcia
