My Pilgrim's Progress: Media Studies, 1950-1998 Paperback - 2000
by George W. Trow
From the rear cover
In My Pilgrim's Progress, George W. S. Trow, the author of the classic Within the Context of No Context, the searing essay which predicted television's overwhelming influence on American culture, shows us "how 1950 got to be 1998".
The son of a tabloid journalist, raised in the Deepest Roosevelt Aesthetic, and seduced by the ordinariness of the Eisenhower era, Trow peruses The New York Times of February 1950, when television was making its first, almost hesitant foray into the American living room, the terror of the H-bomb was becoming realized, and the nation was at the peak of its power. It was the beginning of a decade in which the author and America watched as the Old World gave way to the New. At turns irreverent cultural history, a eulogy for the end of an era, and a brilliantly provocative commentary on contemporary America, My Pilgrim's Progress confirms Trow's place as one of our most incisive social critics.
