Marshall Fishwick acknowledges that the impression of popular culture as being full of fads and follies which change every season, sometimes month-by-month, is superficially true, but basically and historically incorrect. The essential features of "the people," and the ways in which their basic needs are met, have changed little over the centuries. Fishwick's analysis highlights stasis and shows that most contemporary expressions of popular culture are extensions of traditional forms, values, and formulas.Marshall W. Fishwick is the author of 'Seven Pillars of Popular Culture (Contributions to the Study of Popular Culture)', published 1985 under ISBN 9780313232633 and ISBN 0313232636.
