A comprehensive introduction to the work of one of the outstanding
intellectuals of the twentieth century. Raymond Williams is a
towering presence in cultural studies, most importantly as the
founder of the apporach that has come to be known as cultural
materialism. Yet Williams's method was always open-ended and fluid,
and this volume collects together his most significant work from
over a twenty-year peiod in which he wrestled with the concepts of
materiualism and culture and their interrelationship. Aside from
his more directly theoretical texts, however, case-studies of
theatrical naturalism, the Bloomsbury group, advertising, science
fiction, and the Welsh novel are also included as illustrations of
the method at work. Finally, Williams's identity as an active
socialist, rather than simply an academic, is captured by two
unambiguously political pieces on the past, present and future of
Marxism
