Examining the gradual change that has shaped the political, economic, and cultural life of the 20th century, socialist thinker Raymond Williams offers interesting arguments that remain timely for contemporary readers. In this new edition of the classic text, Williams’ study of education and the press traces the development of a common language, revealing links between ideas, literary forms, and social history. A groundbreaking analysis with ongoing relevance in the new century, it not only discusses how a common culture can be achieved, but also whether or not such a goal should be an aspiration.
