A Vocabulary of Culture and Society
Raymond Williams (1976)
Foreword
"For Williams, however, these elements of high culture were simply part of a much more general mix in which any cultural production had to be understood in connection with both its own material conditions of existence and its relation to the wider cultures of the society.Thus literature could be understood only in terms of the educational system that produced readers and the technological advances that made a developed book market possible."
- Keywords should originally be published as footnotes, Appendix to 'Culture and Society'
Introduction
