Recenzii
Review of the hardback: 'The Two Cultures Controversy provides a full and persuasive account of Snow's public roles during his years of fame and a thoughtful exploration of the ramifications of the debate surrounding his celebrated lecture. On these grounds, it will be of considerable value to cultural, educational and political historians of the period, as well as of interest to a wider readership curious about the origins and continuing significance of a famous phrase.' Stefan Collini, Twentieth Century British History

Review of the hardback: 'Guy Ortolano has provided us with a detailed and insightful study … [He] shows … how we can use the Two Cultures to understand the wider ideological and social currents to which it was intimately related: liberalism, declinism, meritocracy, and technocracy.' Waqar Zaidi, Journal of British Studies
Review of the hardback: 'As I read further and further into this text, I could ever more readily hear and feel, even smell, a Britain now largely gone. … Ortolano has captured an important lost moment - even a last moment - in the rise and fall of a Britain dominated by a narrow educational and social ruling stratum.' David Coates, American Historical Review

Highly recommended.' Peter Stansky, Choice
