My Book House

All post-modern now with cultural chaos. So “My Book House” now is dated. But it used to be canonical. It was a rendition of the culture.

Until the 1960s Western civilization had been the standard. Within it there had been a usual, normal, and typical. This prevailed right up through the middle of the twentieth century. Children within typical families in Western European countries got exposed to essentially the same uber-culture (along with remnants of vernacular culture distinctive to each place). The most influential strain of the uber-culture was that of England between 1800 and 1920, and then for some decades it was that of America. (But through the 1950s American culture was still based in the European legacy.)

Modernity was optimistic. My Book House starts with:

The world is so full
of a number of things,
I’m sure we should all
be as happy as kings.
--Robert Louis Stevenson
