I have taken some notes on Highbrow Lowbrow-battle of the brows perspective held by Virginia Woolf in an essay entitled. Middlebrow by Virginia Woolf- Unsent letter to the New Statesman The Death of the Moth, and other essays -Highbrow-He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea. -I need not further labour the point that highbrows, for some reason or another, are wholly incapable of dealing successfully with what is called real life. That is why, and here I come to a point that is often surprisingly ignored, they honour so wholeheartedly and depend so completely upon those who are called lowbrows. A lowbrow is meant of course a man or a woman of thoroughbred vitality who rides his body in pursuit of a living at a gallop across life. Since they are lowbrows, engaged magnificently and adventurously in riding full tilt from one end of life to the other in pursuit of a living, they cannot see themselves doing it. Yet nothing interests them more. And the highbrows, of course, are the only people who can show them. Since they are the only people who do not do things, they are the only people who can see things being done. middlebrow The middlebrow is the man, or woman, of middlebred intelligence who ambles and saunters now on this side of the hedge, now on that, in pursuit of no single object, neither art itself nor life itself, but both mixed indistinguishably, and rather nastily, with money, fame, power, or prestige. -people who call both Shakespeare and Wordsworth equally “Bill”— file under Phrenology/Pseudo Science.
