Book Description
Excerpt from Dwight's American Magazine, and Family Newspaper, 1845, Vol. 1: With Numerous Illustrative and Ornamental Wood Engravings, for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and Moral and Religious Principles T ere are some wonderful things about feathers, which ought to be explained to those who have never been told the cause. The fibres of most feathers stick together, and so make the whole look smooth and connected, as if made of one piece. If it were not so, most feathers would lose their beauty. This will be understood by observing the lower parts of a quill, where we may find a few fibres sepa rated and stickin out in all directions. Each fibre of a eather usually has two rows of very small hooks along the e es, which catch in those of the next, and t us all are held together. The hooks cannot be seen without a microscope. If you pull the fibres, you can separate them: or you may do it by drawing a pin between them. But they are easily made to hook to ether sin.

Masscult and Midcult
Author: Dwight MacdonaldPublisher: New York Review of Books

Pages : 321
Book Description
A New York Review Books Original An uncompromising contrarian, a passionate polemicist, a man of quick wit and wide learning, an anarchist, a pacifist, and a virtuoso of the slashing phrase, Dwight Macdonald was an indefatigable and indomitable critic of America’s susceptibility to well-meaning cultural fakery: all those estimable, eminent, prizewinning works of art that are said to be good and good for you and are not. He dubbed this phenomenon “Midcult” and he attacked it not only on aesthetic but on political grounds. Midcult rendered people complacent and compliant, secure in their common stupidity but neither happy nor free. This new selection of Macdonald’s finest essays, assembled by John Summers, the editor of The Baffler, reintroduces a remarkable American critic and writer. In the era of smart, sexy, and everything indie, Macdonald remains as pertinent and challenging as ever.
