Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

EDITED BY STEPHEN WOODHAMS Raymond Williams came from Wales, and was brought up in a working-class family. This fact of place and class has to be considered as the start point for a thread which runs through his life and his work. In Raymond Williams: From Wales to the World this reality is considered as his life and work are traced out across borders, to people and places he could yet bring understanding and engagement. Throughout the book, Williams’ writing, whether theoretical, historical, critical or as fiction has been treated as a single whole, recognising that his ideas were interwoven as a literary and intellectual re-engagement with Wales over several decades. In this collection of essays edited by Stephen Woodhams, Raymond Williams: From Wales to the World serves to further engage and extend his ideas of class and society. “...explores the cultural, political and intellectual implications of Williams’s own self-description as a ‘Welsh European’ .... (these) stimulating essays break valuable new ground in discussing the range of constituencies and contexts with which Williams engaged, and the particular formations out of which his writings emerged.” Professor Daniel G. Williams, Swansea University “Raymond Williams: From Wales to the World offers significant insights into Williams as a ‘Welsh European’, who taking his ground in the border country, engaged the world beyond.
