Description

Raymond Williams is a towering presence in cultural studies, most importantly as the founder of the approach that has come to be known as cultural materialism. Yet Williams’s method was always open-ended and fluid, and this volume collects his most significant work from over a twenty-year period in which he wrestled with the concepts of materialism and culture and their interrelationship.
