前些日子赵毅衡在上海书评上评了他的《知识分子与大众——文学知识界的傲慢与偏见，1880-1939》

http://news.21cn.com/today/legend/2009/02/23/5906018.shtml

“对大众文化的推崇，是近年来一种知识分子的思想潮流，正如这本指责过去知识分子对大众态度的书，是牛津大学凯里写成的。凯里这本书，是貌似激烈批判的保守主义。”

凯里写到的多为现代小说，甚至还有奥登、叶芝，不是那么大众的读物。

如伦敦书评所说：

How strangely this little book contradicts the snarling Intellectuals and the Masses and not just in tone. Forster Eliot and Lawrence enemies in the earlier book are favourites here. About Lawrence's superb but unstable Twilight in Italy Carey notes without sarcasm that for Lawrence the trip represents "an escape from the guilt and repression of the Christian North to the warmth of the pagan South". Where is Nietzsche when you need him? He even seems to enjoy - and they are enjoyable - Lawrence's frenzies of abolition in this book: "His prose is lulling incantatory and he loves or hates the people he meets with passionate arbitrariness." Orwell's Coming up for Air which in the last book was used as an example of the intellectuals' hostility to the creeping suburbs is here welcomed.

很奇怪的是，这本小书跟愤怒的《知识分子与大众》相反，不只是在语调上。在前一本书是敌人的福斯特、艾略特、劳伦斯，在这里是最受喜爱的……奥威尔的《上来透口气》，在上一本书里被用作知识分子敌视日益蔓延的郊区的例子，在这本书中则受到欢迎。

this is a wide selection which includes Joyce and Eliot's 'Prufrock' and Mann's The Confessions of Felix Krull. There are wise insights into Auden's poems The Secret Agent Gorky's memoir of his childhood The Tin Drum Sartre's memoir Words and Sylvia Townsend Warner's Mr Fortune's Maggot. This last novel was new to me; there are surely few readers who will not learn something from Pure Pleasure.

选的书范围很广，包括乔伊斯、艾略特的诗、托马斯·曼的骗子的自白。有些颇有见地的点评，关于奥登的诗、康拉德的《间谍》、高尔基的《童年》，铁皮鼓，萨特的《文字生涯》，一部他没听说过的小说。很少会有读者不能从“至乐”中学到点啥。
