{"product_id":"what-good-are-the-arts-paperback-carey-john","title":"What Good are the Arts? [Paperback] Carey, John","description":"\u003cp\u003eOxford professor John Carey takes a sledgehammer to artistic pretension in this brilliantly provocative work. He argues that no art form is inherently superior to another—that a beloved romance novel can matter as much as Shakespeare, and that aesthetic value is entirely subjective. Carey dismantles elitist attitudes with razor-sharp wit and formidable scholarship, making a passionate case for democratising the arts. It's both intellectually rigorous and wonderfully readable, challenging everything you thought you knew about 'high' and 'low' culture. Perfect for anyone who's ever felt intimidated by the art world, or who loves a good intellectual dust-up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47612617752741,"sku":"BIN-CC5-POL-23335-03-13-2026","price":6.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/1407\/9909\/files\/61erButly5L.jpg?v=1773632556","url":"https:\/\/patinapaperbacks.com\/products\/what-good-are-the-arts-paperback-carey-john","provider":"Patina Paperbacks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
