{"product_id":"the-long-revolution-9781551114026","title":"The Long Revolution","description":"\u003cp\u003eRaymond Williams  whose other works include Keywords  The Country and the City  Culture and Society  and Modern Tragedy  was one of the worlds foremost cultural critics. 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. When The Long Revolution 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. With 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  Williamss 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. Originally published by Chatto \u0026amp; Windus  The Long Revolution is now available only in this Broadview Encore Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665861926965,"sku":"ByrdShop_155111402X","price":79.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781551114026.jpg?v=1782410939","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-long-revolution-9781551114026","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
