520    Lively and well written, Bread and Circuses analyzes 
       theories that have treated mass culture as either a 
       symptom or a cause of social decadence. Discussing many of
       the most influential and representative theories of mass 
       culture, it ranges widely from Greek and Roman origins, 
       through Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Ortega y Gasset, T. S. 
       Eliot, and the theorists of the Frankfurt Institute, down 
       to Marshall McLuhan and Daniel Bell. Brantlinger considers
       the many versions of negative classicism and shows how the
       belief in the historical inevitability of social decay-a 
       belief today perpetuated by the mass media themselves-has 
       become the dominant view of mass culture in our time. 
       While not defending mass culture in its present form, 
       Brantlinger argues that the view of culture implicit in 
       negative classicism obscures the question of how the media
       can best be used to help achieve freedom and enlightenment
       on a truly democratic basis.
