Focuses on the way individuals form opinions about culture through the mediation of critics. This book shows that it is the extent to which critics shape the reception of an art form that determines its place in the cultural hierarchy. It supports this argument through an inquiry into the performing arts, focusing on the Edinburgh Fringe.
