Seventies A wonderfully entertaining and fascinating mosaic of the 1970s, arguing that it was much more than just the decade that taste forgot and actually represents a key period in 20th-century culture. Full description

Quatrième de couverture :
'An enthusiastic celebration of the art, films and music of the beige age'
Dominic Sandbrook, Daily Telegraph History Books of the Year
The popular image of the 1970s has been defined in recent years by the kitsch fashion mistakes of the time and its most vacuous pop music. It was, so the received wisdom goes, the decade that taste forgot, a cultural wasteland compared to the decade that preceded it or those that have followed.
But was it all pet rocks, big hair and Showaddywaddy? Not so, as Howard Sounes shows in his brilliant new cultural history of the 1970s: in fact, an amazing number of classic films, records, books and pictures came out of this one remarkable decade; revealing it to be far richer and more significant in the shaping of the twenty-first-century world than we would have imagined.
'[Sounes] has done what more spineless authors would have shied from and produced an exuberant celebration of a decade which gave us "modern classics" in film, television, architecture, painting and sculpture . . . A well-written account of the making of high and popular art'
Nick Cohen, Observer

When people think of culture in the 1970s they usually conjure up a confetti of kitsch, a jumble of disposable trash in which pet rocks vie for space with the Partridge Family to the tune of the Bay City Rollers. It was, so the received wisdom goes, the decade that taste forgot, a cultural wasteland compared to the decade that preceded it or those that have followed it.
Not so, as Howard Sounes argues brilliantly and convincingly in this breathtaking tour of a decade's cultural endeavour. The 1970s may have had flares and big hair, but it also had Martin Scorsese, Lou Reed, David Hockney, Iris Murdoch, Jack Nicholson, David Bowie, John Updike, Diane Arbus, Monty Python, Richard Rogers -- and, of course, Snoopy.
Weaving the stories of these and many other key figures together in a mesmerising and compelling mosaic, Howard Sounes shows why their contributions had such resonance at the time and why they still retain their cachet now. In doing so he completely re-invents the reputation of a decade, revealing the 1970s to be far richer and more significant in the shaping of the twenty-first-century world than we could have imagined.
