In spite of their wide-reaching differences, Virginia Woolf describes the highbrow as intimately reliant on the lowbrow. It is to be hoped that culture will soon be democratized through some less conventional system of education, giving rise to a new type that might be called the middle-brow, who will consider books as a source of intellectual enjoyment. Here is an alarmingly wide chasm, I might almost say a vacuum, between the high-brow, who considers reading either as a trade or as a form of intellectual wrestling, and the low-brow, who is merely seeking for gross thrills. The term had previously appeared in hyphenated form in The Nation, on 25 January 1912:
It consists of people who are hoping that some day they will get used to the stuff that they ought to like". According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word middlebrow first appeared in print in 1925, in Punch: "The BBC claims to have discovered a new type-'the middlebrow'. The opposite of highbrow is lowbrow, and between them is middlebrow, describing culture that is neither high nor low as a usage, middlebrow is derogatory, as in Virginia Woolf's unsent letter to the New Statesman, written in the 1930s and published in The Death of the Moth and Other Essays (1942). The term was popularized in 1902 by Will Irvin, a reporter for The Sun of New York City, who adhered to the phrenological notion of more intelligent people having high foreheads.
The first usage in print of highbrow was recorded in 1884. The term highbrow is considered by some (with corresponding labels as 'middlebrow' 'lowbrow') as discerning or selective and highbrow is currently distanced from the writer by quotation marks: "We thus focus on the consumption of two generally recognised 'highbrow' genres-opera and classical". If so, then add him to the list of "Autobots Shockwave mercilessly killed"! In fact, the second AllSpark Almanac all-but confirms that this is what befell Highbrow."Highbrow" can be applied to music, implying most of the classical music tradition to literature-i.e., literary fiction and poetry to films in the arthouse line and to comedy that requires significant understanding of analogies or references to appreciate. It is possible that Highbrow was killed by Shockwave in order for him to get the job of Head of Cybertron Intelligence.
He is mustachioed, he shares the actor's distinctive gap between his front teeth, and he's jolly well got a delightful caddish British accent, eh wot?
#Tfwiki highbrow cracked
TransWarpedįollowing this, Highbrow cracked the codes used for private messages between Megatron and Scrash. Realizing what had occurred, Highbrow led Ratchet and Ultra Magnus to the room containing Project Omega, explaining that the retrieved data was the final step in completing the Autobots' newest weapon, Omega Supreme.
When they called in Ratchet to help, the medic triggered a hidden failsafe that transferred the data to his memory banks. Millions of years ago, Highbrow and Mainframe worked on the comatose Arcee, trying to recall the sensitive data she had been carrying that was feared lost after her unfortunate encounter with Lockdown. "The thells thea thells by the thea thore.Drat!"
