This book deals with post-war culture and society and the Edinburgh
Festivals. The Edinburgh Festival is the world's largest arts
festival. It has also been the site of numerous 'culture wars'
since it began in 1947. Key debates that took place across the
western world about the place of culture in society, the practice
and significance of the arts, censorship, the role of organised
religion, and meanings of morality were all reflected in contest
over culture in the Festival City. This book explores the 'culture
wars' of 1945-1970 and is the first major study of the origins and
development of this leading annual arts extravaganza. This is the
first critical history of the first 25 years of the world's biggest
arts festival. It uses festivals (and key theatre ventures) in
Edinburgh as a lens for understanding wider social and cultural
change in post-war Britain. It draws upon a range of archival
sources, including original oral history interviews with key
players in the arts scene of Edinburgh and beyond.
