"Raymond Williams was the last of the great European male revolutionary socialist intellectuals born before the end of the age of Europe (1492-1945)." —Cornel West The work of Raymond Williams is of seminal importance in rethinking the idea of culture. He is widely regarded as one of the founding figures of international cultural studies. In tribute to his legacy, this edited volume is devoted to his theories of cultural materialism and is the most substantial and wide-ranging collection of essays on his work to be offered since his death in 1988. For all readers grappling with Williams's complex legacy, this volume is not to be missed. "This excellent collection of essays both situates and goes beyond the cultural materialism of Raymond Williams." —Environment and Planning Contributors: Stanley Aronowitz, John Brenkman, Peter de Bolla, Catherine Gallagher, Stephen Heath, John Higgins, Peter Hitchcock, Cora Kaplan, David Lloyd, Robert Miklitsch, Michael Moriarty, Morag Shiach, David Simpson, Gillian Skirrow, Kenneth Surin, Paul Thomas, Gauri Viswanathan, and Cornel West. Christopher Prendergast is reader in modern French literature at Cambridge University and fellow at King's College. He is the author of The Order of Mimesis (1986) and Paris and the Nineteenth Century (1992), and co-editor of The Harper Collins World Reader (1993). 400 pages | 5 7/16 x 8 1/2 | 1995 |
