Justin Wintle published the biographical references "Makers of
Modern Culture" and "Makers of Nineteenth-Century Culture" with
Routledge at the beginning of the 1980s. The set was extremely
successful and continues to be used to this day, due to the very
high quality of the writing, the distinguished contributors, and
the cultural sensitivity shown in the selection of those
individuals included. "New Makers of Modern Culture" is the
successor to these classic reference works, taking into full
account the rise and fall of reputation and influence over the last
25 years and the epochal changes that have occurred: the collapse
of Marxism as a valid discourse and the demise of the Soviet Union,
the rise and fall of postmodernism, the eruption of Islamic
fundamentalism, the triumph of the Internet. With its global reach,
"New Makers of Modern" "Culture" is not just a reference record,
but a multi-voiced witness of the contemporary thinking world.
