Contagion  

From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

"Contagion is so powerful that it forces upon individuals not only certain opinions, but certain modes of feeling as well. Contagion is the cause of the contempt in which, at a given period, certain works are held--the example of "Tannhauser" may be cited--which, a few years later, for the same reason are admired by those who were foremost in criticising them."--The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind (1895) by Gustave Le Bon
