Though more than a generation has passed since the revolutionary fervour of the Summer of Love of 1967, the 1960s in many ways seem with us still. From recurring debates over the war in Vietnam to the continuing musical influence of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones to the concern about youth drug use, the legacy of the 1960s is ubiquitous in contemporary life. The Summer of Love - which accompanies an exhibition at Tate Liverpool - brings together an impressive group of historians, artists, and cultural critics to present a rich and varied interpretation of this seminal decade. Background and contextual essays investigate in-depth the art, history and culture of psychedelia. Psychedelic art and culture is presented as an international creative phenomenon that made an essential, unjustly neglected contribution to the art and culture of one of the most turbulent periods in 20th-century history. While highlighting the expansive nature of psychedelic art, related aspects such as counterculture, student revolution, sexual liberation, drugs, literature and poetry, music, fashion, comics, typography are also investigated. This collection of essays will be an important addition to growing body of literature on the 1960s, highlighting a particular significant and exciting aspect of the period. It will be of interest to the general reader as well as students and scholars of the art and culture of the 1960s.
