This volume explains the 20th century as a stage in a long revolution which began two centuries ago, transforming men and institutions and overturning conventional ideas - political, economic and cultural. The author begins by examining creativity itself and moves on to analyze social concepts and trace the history of education, the press, the novel and drama. The book is a sequel to his book, "Culture and Society" and reinterprets the dominant values of British life and literature. Other books by Raymond Williams include "The Country and the City", "The English Novel From Dickens to Lawrence" and "Modern Tragedy".
