Title: Good ideas, but poorly written.
Review: This book had a lot of interesting ideas, but it also had many flaws. It purports to be an introduction to the area of cultural history, but the essays assume the readers have a certain amount of knowledge. Beyond that, it is also poorly written. As a 3rd-year history/English major, I often had some trouble following the arguments this volume made. The authors could have articulated themselves much better. I have to say, the area of cultural history is fascinating, but I would like to think that there are clearer volumes out there.
