Overview

This book provides a critical introduction to the full range of Williams' work--both fiction and non-fiction. It assesses the significance of his contributions to the understanding of culture, politics and society. Fair-minded, accurate and sensitive, this study makes

crucial connections between different aspects of williams' work and its underlying concern for a democratic polity.

Williams believed that making connections between politics, economics, education and culture was a vital critical task. The authors of this study adopt this spirit in undertaking a critical exploration of the full range of Willimas' work. They provide the fullest and most sustained

treatment of his work currently available, ranging over his contributions to drama, film, literary criticism, sociology, cultural studies, media studies and politics.
