The creation of the Frankfurt School of critical theory in the
1920s saw the birth of some of the most exciting and challenging
writings of the twentieth century. It is out of this background
that the great critic Theodor Adorno emerged. His finest essays are
collected here, offering the reader unparalleled insights into
Adorno's thoughts on culture. He argued that the culture industry
commodified and standardized all art. In turn this suffocated
individuality and destroyed critical thinking. At the time, Adorno
was accused of everything from overreaction to deranged hysteria by
his many detractors. In today's world, where even the least cynical
of consumers is aware of the influence of the media, Adorno's work
takes on a more immediate significance. The Culture Industry is an
unrivalled indictment of the banality of mass culture.
