Culture Shock by Valerie Grosvenor Myer
Hardcover, UK | 1st Edition | 1st Printing | 1988 | Publisher: Duckworth & Co
A sharp, scholarly, and highly collectible first edition from Valerie Grosvenor Myer — the respected British literary critic, biographer, and cultural commentator whose books include studies of Jane Austen, Margaret Drabble, and Naomi Mitchison. Published by the distinguished independent press Duckworth & Co, Culture Shock is an incisive examination of cultural change, social transformation, and the tensions between tradition and modernity in British life. Grosvenor Myer's erudite and witty perspective gives the book a timeless quality that speaks as clearly to contemporary readers as it did on publication. A scarcely found title on the collector's market.
Condition: As New, unread copy, slight marks of aging on front page, dust cover may show signs of previous ownership.
A rare, pristine first edition from an important British critic and cultural commentator — published by the celebrated Duckworth imprint and now nearly 40 years old.
