Bene tibi sit vir optime. Si volueris legere opus quod imprimis ad contemptum vulgi pertinet tibi commendo τὰς τῆς Θεόγνιδος ἐλεγείας quæ meo iudicio versos huius nostri poetæ Quintii Horatii, id est odi profanum vulgus et arceo, mordacitate atque facunditate superant.

The original book to read is Culture and Anarchy by Arnold. It's a masterpiece, but pretty challenging. For more recent takes, MacDonald's Masscult and Midcult is a great achievement in the science of snobbery.
