Ed." published in February, 1978, with 224 pp., but neither the OUP, nor Amazon, provide detailed information about the contents of the additional 6 pp. of the second 1978 edition. Perhaps the Rev.Ed. is little more than the 1st printing with corrections, which is the same as this copy, the 2nd printing.

Sinopsis:

This book extends the theme of Raymond Williams's earlier work in literary and cultural analysis. He analyses previous contributions to a Marxist theory of literature from Marx himself to Lukacs, Althusser, and Goldmann, and develops his own approach by outlining a theory of 'cultural materialism' which integrates Marxist theories of language with Marxist theories of literature. Williams moves from a review of the growth of the concepts of literature and idealogy to a redefinition of 'determinism' and 'hegemony'. His incisive discussion of the 'social material process' of cultural activity culminates in a re-examination of the problems of alignment and commitment and of the creative practice in individual authors and wider social groups.

Acerca del autor:

Raymond Williams was formerly Professor of Drama and Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge. His publications include Culture and Society, Communications, The Country and The City, and Keywords.
