Raymond Williams believed that making connections between politics, economics, education and culture was a continuing critical task. This is a critical exploration of every aspect Williams's work, which spans his fiction and non-fiction, and his contributions to drama, film, literary criticism, sociology, cultural studies, media studies and politics. Williams was a socialist intellectual with a complex relationship to Marxism. This work re-examines his wary utopianism and commitment to an educated, participatory democracy. It also studies his sharp critiques of modernity and postmodernity and evaluates the worth of his work on culture and communications.
