Popular Culture
In April 2010, author Guy Gavriel Kay published a historical fiction novel taking place in the time leading up to and the beginnings of the An Lushun Rebellion titled Under Heaven. The story takes place in a fictionalized China and as such is not to be taken as a historical work, but it does incorporate many of the main events that took place during this period.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“It is of the essence of imaginative culture that it transcends the limits both of the naturally possible and of the morally acceptable.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
