	Williams, Raymond (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The most important legacy of Raymond Williams (1921-88) is the emergent interdisciplinary field of Cultural Studies--a field that he, more than anyone else in the English-speaking world since the late 1940s, pioneered and consolidated.
		Williams was born into a working-class family in Pandy, a village in the parish of Llanfihangel, in Monmouthshire, Wales, and was educated at Abergavenny Grammar School and Trinity College, Cambridge.
		Williams taught drama and fiction with increasing emphasis on their political and social contexts and also stressed the theme of a democratic and permanent education.

	Raymond Williams in retrospect by Maurice Cowling
		Williams adapted himself sartorially to the revolution as readily as Eagleton did, borrowing as his symbols the duffle coat, the leather jacket, and the Mosley-ite fl sweater in which he was photographed in 1982.
		Williams wrote at two levels—colloquially and self-confidently in confirming for audiences of his own persuasion the truths that they shared with him; opaquely and mistily in works that attempted to establish the truth and coherence of these persuasions.
		Williams is best understood as the politicizer of Leavis, as the man who, while he criticized Leavis, brought him out of the closet and converted critical discrimination” into a set of Marxist slogans.

	Robert Christgau: Living in a Material World: Raymond Williams' Long Revolution
		When Raymond Williams describes an act of the mind he assumes that both its individual and its social circumstances must be taken into account: without falling for determinist equations, he never forgets that human works are inextricable from human lives.
		Williams was an enraptured admirer of Finnegans Wake when he decided to take up fiction as a vocation in the early '50s, and although he soon embraced conventional narrative technique, he's never stopped chafing at what publishers dictate to be publishable length; like Joyce, he wants his novels to contain whole worlds.
		Williams is torn by the same contradictions that rip at all but his most self-deceived or cold-hearted allies: on the one hand he sees that reform's ended up next to nowhere, and on the other hand he sees where revolution's ended up.

	Raymond Williams in retrospect by Maurice Cowling
		Williams adapted himself sartorially to the revolution as readily as Eagleton did, borrowing as his symbols the duffle coat, the leather jacket, and the Mosley-ite fl sweater in which he was photographed in 1982.
		Williams wrote at two levels—colloquially and self-confidently in confirming for audiences of his own persuasion the truths that they shared with him; opaquely and mistily in works that attempted to establish the truth and coherence of these persuasions.
		In later life Williams made something of the malice he claimed to have encountered on his final return to Cambridge in 1961 from what he thought of as its middle-class establishment, and contrasted its brassiness and careerism with the cultural superiority of the community in which he had grown up.

	Culture is ordinary: Raymond Williams and cultural materialism
		Williams resisted prescriptive approaches to culture: if it was intolerable for the Right to appropriate George Eliot, it was absurd for the Left to claim that certain art forms were or were not 'socialist'.
		The complex set of transformations which Williams labelled 'the long revolution' could only triumph by dispossessing "the central political organs of capitalist society": "the condition for the success of the long revolution in any real sense is decisively a short revolution".
		Williams deliberately refused to play that game, for reasons which recall his enduringly controversial critique of George Orwell ("while travelling seriously, he was always travelling light").

	One side of Raymond Williams (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Williams was born in 1921, the son of a railway worker in a Welsh village.
		Williams' prose suffers from such ailments as "frequent generality and vagueness" and "cloudy and polymorphous sentences", and is "over-elaborate and complicated", "dense and impenetrable", "murky and abstract", "thick and at times downright dreary".
		Williams had his theoretical and political faults, but there is more than enough in his life and work to repay study by those who want to advance the project of cultural, and political, revolution.

	Tools for change: Mummifying Raymond Williams
		The bulk of Williams' life, it seems, is what readers already know from his strongly reflexive and often occasional writing; the details of which jobs he took when or what houses he lived in add very little to the story.
		Williams' own relation to class and ethnicity, as his novels show, was never an uncritical embracing of a romantic fantasy, whether of country or of class (while for Inglis, 'nostalgia has much to be said for it' (p.
		With Williams, as with Gramsci, the combination of critical experience of community with the commitment to locate that community within the capitalist totality is central: 'not Border Country by Raymond Williams but Raymond Williams by Border Country' (Emyr Humphreys, quoted in Williams 1989a, p.

	RAYMOND WILLIAMS: REVITALISING THE LEFT?
		Williams, he claims was, 'earnestly ambitious all his life of reputation and recognition, of being known as writer and public figure, and also being recognised for his uncompromising radicalism and principle ('uncompromising' is always such a tribute in the lexicon of the left)'.
		Williams shared with Marxism a sense of the progressive role of the working class he had grown up in, and he drew on Marxism's insistence that culture must be seen in the context of wider society.
		Williams, E P Thompson and other remnants of the New Left responded in May 1967 with a Manifesto that was both a critique of the Labour Party and an attempt to outline an alternative programme.

		Williams isn't easy for an educationist because his field is literature--so (a) his citations can be obscure to folks who weren't English majors and (b) he's concerned with style, which hardly any educationists or social scientists (especially social scientists, damn their crippled aesthetics).

		Early in The Country and the City Raymond Williams quotes a couplet by George Crabbe (from The Village, 1783): "No longer truth, though shown in verse, disdain, But own the Village Life a Life of pain." The lines are an apology for pastoral poetry's idyllic picture of the countryside.
		...Thus, when Williams talks of the creation of a new world, a better community, "directness," "connection," "mutuality," "sharing," of life as an integrated, organic whole, what he does in effect is to create a counter-pastoral of his own...
		...Williams knows first-hand the experience of the transitional man (it was the subject of his excellent work, Culture and Society)-the agony of separation from roots, the conflict of values, the hesitant (and certainly guilt-provoking) adoption of urban ways, the sense of loss of the past...
