[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is lowbrow? [/quote] People may have different opinions, but I think of it as books that aren’t considered “literature” and more likely to be viewed as genre books - romance, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, westerns, mysteries, thrillers, etc. Of course there are lots of gray areas and overlap. Also, if something stays popular long enough, it eventually gets redesignated as a classic, which by definition is “highbrow” regardless of literary merit (Beowulf? Canterbury Tales?). [/quote]
