Almost uniquely, his work bridged the divides between aesthetic and socio-economic inquiry, between Marxist thought and mainstream liberal thought, and between the modern and post-modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cem\u003eThe Long Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e first appeared in 1961, much of the acclaim it received was based on its prescriptions for Britain in the ’60s, which form a relatively brief final section of the whole. The body of the book has since come to be recognized as one of the foundation documents in the cultural analysis of English-speaking culture. The “long revolution” of the title is a cultural revolution, which Williams sees as having unfolded alongside the democratic revolution and the industrial revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this book, Williams led the way in recognizing the importance of the growth of the popular press, the growth of standard English, and the growth the reading public in English-speaking culture and in Western culture as a whole. In addition, Williams’s discussion of how culture is to be defined and analyzed has been of considerable importance in the development of cultural studies as an independent discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published by Chatto \u0026amp; Windus, \u003cem\u003eThe Long Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e is now available only in this Broadview Encore Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003eForeword to the Pelican Edition\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART ONE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Creative Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Analysis of Culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividuals and Societies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImages of Society\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART ONE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducation and British Society\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Growth of the Reading Public\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Growth of the Popular Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Growth of ‘Standard English’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Social History of English Writers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Social History of Dramatic Forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealism and the Contemporary Novel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART THREE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBritain in the 1960s\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes to the Pelican Edition\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041306771799,"sku":"9781551114026","price":27.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781551114026.jpg?v=1750949745","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-long-revolution-9781551114026","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
