- This sole-authored, 80,000-word monograph presents a comprehensive history of the development of cultural policy in the UK, Canada and the USA. Based on over a decade of extensive archival research alongside analysis of primary and secondary sources, the book provides an original historiography of cultural policy in the form of a social and intellectual history of the arts council model, identifying and exploring the ideas embedded in the model and actions of intellectuals, philanthropists and wealthy aesthetes in its establishment in the mid-Twentieth Century. It has already become a foundational text for cultural policy scholars across the world.
