註釋
At the millennium Britain stands at a cultural cross-roads. There's been endless talk of cultural regeneration - a brave new Britain of Cool Britannia and Brit Pop. In an age of cultural cross-pollination and pop cultural imperialism from the USA what can we really call our own? and why? In this book, Andrew Calcutt takes a lively and opinionated look at the real movers, shakers and innovators, the cultural icons, touchstones and shrines of what could truly be called British pop culture. Stretching over the past 30 years it includes everyone and thing from The Kinks to The Fall, mods and rockers to rave culture. It also looks at the roots of each entry to see what they have taken from even further back in British culture. Altogether it paints a picture of a multi-cultural tapestry recycling the past in search of the new.
