Images of England Through Popular Music: Class, Youth and Rock 'n' Roll, 1955-1976

by Gildart and Keith Gildart

Book Overview

Drawing on archival sources and oral testimony, Keith Gildart examines the ways in which popular music played an important role in reflecting and shaping social identities and working-class cultures and - through a focus on rock 'n' roll, rhythm & blues, punk, mod subculture, and glam rock - created a sense of crisis in English society.
