"Many of [Dalrymple's] meditations on culture and society...contain striking passages about the decay of societies that can be read with profit."
Jacob Heilbrunn, New York Times Book Review, 08/21/2005
Review:"Dalrymple has, it must be stressed, written an urgent, important, almost an essential book. OUR CULTURE, WHAT'S LEFT OF IT needs to be read and acted on by policy-makers, by opinion-formers, and anyone who wants to grasp why Britain has become so much less pleasant a country in which to live. The book is elegantly written, conscientiously argued, provocative and fiercely committed....His measured polemics arouse disgust, shame and despair: they will shake many readers' views of their physical surroundings and cultural assumptions, and have an enriching power to improve the way that people think and act."
Times Literary Supplement, 10/28/2005

Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses (Hardback) (ISBN: 9781566636438) Dalrymple, Theodore Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Ivan R Dee, Inc, United States, 2005. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 158 x 231 mm. Brand New Book. This new collection of essays by the author of Life at the Bottom bears the unmistakable stamp of Theodore Dalrymple's bracingly clearsighted view of the human condition. It suggests comparison with the work of George Orwell. In these twenty-six pieces, Dr. Dalrymple ranges over literature and ideas, from Shakespeare to Marx, from the breakdown of Islam to the legalization of drugs. Informed by years of medical practice in a wide variety of settings, his acquaintance with the outer limits of human experience allows him to discover the universal in the local and the particular, and makes him impatient with the humbug and obscurantism that have too long marred our social and political life. As in Life at the Bottom, his essays are incisive yet undogmatic, beautifully composed and devoid of disfiguring jargon. Our Culture, What's Left of It is a book that restores our faith in the central importance of literature and criticism to our civilization.
