Index
“Williams could not have a better advocate than Dix, whose careful reading of his work restores one of the most profound thinkers on literature and culture to our view.”
“Thoroughly researched, politically engaged, lucidly written and often very cleverly argued, this book is an immediately essential addition to the extensive secondary literature on Williams.”
“In this book, Hywel Dix presents a succession of fresh and surprising insights into the work of Raymond Williams and into theories of post-devolutionary culture. Readable but critically astute and deeply informed, After Raymond Williams promises to reinvigorate the idea of cultural materialism.”
“This innovative and timely study sheds light not only on the work of Raymond Williams, but also on the ongoing cultural processes of devolution in Britain.”
