Taking everyday terms that capture the experience of lockdown — like chocolate, streaming, ageing, health, clapping, social distancing, dystopia, and frontline workers — and a range of writers, theorists, and academics, it provides unusually accessible and friendly analysis of our shared historic moment.

The Dictionary of Coronavirus Culture, edited by Alan Bradshaw and Joel Hietanen is designed to help us come to terms with what COVID-19 and the associated lockdowns mean for us and the world around.
