Produktbeschreibung
Raymond Williams-a Welsh media critic and a pioneer of cultural studies-believed that the traditional focus of biographies on individuals isolated these people from their communities. For this reason, Alan O'Connor looks at Williams and his time period-one of social change and crisis. Williams, son of a railway worker, would have pursued university studies had World War II not disrupted his plans.

O'Connor concludes with the same message Williams advocated: In a period dominated by conservative forces, it is still worthwhile to struggle for small changes.
