The Politics of the Unpolitical (Routledge Revivals: Herbert Read and Selected Works)

In this collection of fourteen essays, first published in 1943, Herbert Read extends and amplifies the point of view expressed in his successful pamphlet To Hell with Culture, which has been reprinted here. The politics of the unpolitical are the politics of those who strive for human values and not for national or sectional interests. Herbert Read defines these values and demands their recognition as a solvent of social and cultural crises’, and looks forward to the future with constructive vision. This book will be of interest to students of politics, history, and cultural studies.
