Politics And Letters by Raymond Williams
A collection of essays and conversations that examines the interdependence of culture and politics, arguing that literature, language and everyday practices are integral to social life and political change rather than mere reflections of economic structures. It traces the history of ideas in relation to class formation, critiques doctrinaire Marxism, develops a cultural-materialist approach (including the concept of a “structure of feeling”), and emphasizes the role of institutions, education and intellectuals in shaping and reproducing power. Combining close readings of texts with broad political analysis, it insists on connecting cultural criticism to practical politics and democratic forms of social transformation.
