Description

Raymond Williams extends his influential work in literary and cultural analysis with this foundational text on Marxist approaches to literature. The book traces contributions to Marxist literary theory from Marx through Lukacs, Althusser, and Goldmann, whilst developing Williams's own theory of cultural materialism that integrates Marxist analyses of language and literature. Williams examines the evolution of literature and ideology as concepts, redefines determinism and hegemony, and provides incisive analysis of the social material process underlying cultural activity. Essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to understand how Marxist theory illuminates literary criticism and cultural practice, this Oxford University Press edition remains a cornerstone text in critical theory and cultural studies.

Key Features

Raymond Williams synthesises Marxist literary theory from Marx to contemporary theorists including Lukacs, Althusser, and Goldmann in one comprehensive volume.

The book introduces cultural materialism as a theoretical framework that bridges Marxist theories of language with Marxist approaches to literature.

Williams redefines key concepts including determinism and hegemony to advance Marxist literary criticism beyond earlier formulations.

Detailed analysis of the social material process of cultural activity provides readers with tools for understanding literature's relationship to society and ideology.
