Raymond Williams

Jim McGuigan, a Professor of Cultural Analysis and Sociology at Loughborough University in England, offers an interesting appraisal of Raymond Williams, one of Britain's foremost cultural studies scholars, in the online journal Flow. Williams is still one of my favorite scholars - maybe because, even though he was writing about a Britain that I only barely remember as it was fading away, his work still seems very relevant to today's world; or maybe I'm just nostalgic. But whenever I see someone writing anew about Williams, I pay attention.
