Long revolution
Williams, Raymond
Long revolution - "Middlesex, Eng." Penguin Books 1984 - 399 p.
In The Long Revolution Raymond Williams
continues the inquiry he began so successfully in
Culture and Society.
Examining the gradual change which is coming
over our political, economic and cultural life, he
lays special emphasis on the 'creative mind' in
relation to our social and cultural thinking. After
discussing the theory of culture he turns to a
fascinating historical study of such institutions as
education and the press, traces the development
of a common language, and reveals the links
, between ideas, literary forms and social history.
The gradual emergence of a common culture is
what Britain needs, and Raymond Williams
devotes the concluding essay of the book to a
discussion of the stage this has reached and the
conflicts surrounding it.
