Description
The notion of "everyday life" in literature is frequently used to signal a romantic return to the "common people". This text subjects the term to scrutiny, exploring how it has been used in American folklore, British cultural studies and French everyday life theory, suggesting a program for revitalizing anti-elitist approaches to culture.
