Raymond Williams (1921-1988) was the most influential socialist
writer and thinker in post-war Britain. From 1961, with the
publication of The Long Revolution, his reputation was bound up
with the theory and practice of Culture, as itself a social
dynamic. However, Williams always considered that his critical and
imaginative work formed an integral whole and that their
complementary pattern was crucial to his personal intent and wider
purpose. In particular, for him the appearance of the pathbreaking
Culture and Society in 1958 and of his revelatory first novel
Border Country in 1960 were twinned events. Now, for the first
time, making full use of Williams' private and unpublished papers
and by placing him in a wide social and cultural landscape, Dai
Smith, in this highly original and riveting biographical study,
uncovers how the life to 1961 is indeed an explanation of Raymond
Williams' immense and connected creative and intellectual
achievement.
