Effectively a new kind of book ... a remarkable human achievement.

Guardian

For anybody interested in the relationship between literature and society ... this book is essential reading.

Financial Times

An absolutely riveting piece of work.

New Society

Se alle

This is, quite simply, one of the most magnificent books I have read.

- Philip Corrigan, Media, Culture and Society

Raymond Williams has made a more persistent attempt to grasp the nature of this relation [between politics and letters] than any living British writer.

London Review of Books

Williams's political engagements ... were now declaratively revolutionary.

New Left Review

[Williams] taught us not only of the explosive power locked up in the concept [of culture], but also the richness and dignity it bestowed upon our ordinary lives.

Independent

These questions elicit measured, honest and extensive responses from Williams. Literature, politics, history and society: all the tributaries of his thought are arranged, chronologically and thematically, and flow from his Welsh childhood to his mature thoughts on the landscape of British politics just before Thatcher's rise to power.

The Australian

Raymond Williams made a central contribution to the intellectual culture of the Left in the English-speaking world. He was also one of the key figures in the foundation of cultural studies in Britain, which turned critical skills honed on textual analysis to the examination of structures and forms of resistance apparent in everyday life. Politics and Letters is a volume of interviews with Williams, conducted by New Left Review, designed to bring into clear focus the major theoretical and political issues posed by his work. Introduced by writer Geoff Dyer, Politics and Letters ranges across Williams's biographical development, the evolution of his cultural theory and literary criticism, his work on dramatic forms and his fiction, and an exploration of British and international politics.
