I don't have anything to say about the highbrow/lowbrow dichotomy, but I think it's wrong to equate it with class struggle. The latter has to do with political power, while the former has to do with aesthetics. Of course, the two sets of people overlap a fair bit, but it's easy to move between the highbrow/lowbrow camps, and hard to do so between the high/low classes. I don't think it makes anything clearer by bringing class into this argument about literary aesthetics.
