Author and educator Ray Browne combined interests in folklore, literature, and American Studies into a groundbreaking approach to the study of the humanities and social sciences, a field which eventually came to be known as popular culture studies. In addition to co-founding both the Journal of Popular Culture and the Journal of American Culture, Browne wrote and published over 80 articles and book chapters, authored eight books, and edited almost 50 other book-length volumes. This edited collection features key cultural studies writings by Browne, collected over his decades-long academic career. It includes some of Browne's most influential and notable scholarship, along with previously unpublished work, corrected pieces, and "new" articles edited from multiple sources.
