Raymond Williams

Why not have a read whilst the music is getting sorted? 

Raymond Williams

  Acknowledged as perhaps the masterpiece of materialist criticism in the English language, this omnibus ranges over British literary history from George Eliot to George Orwell to inquire about the complex ways economic reality shapes the imagination.

I lifted that blurb from Google books -  Acknowledged as perhaps the masterpiece- what the fuck does that mean? Oh yes! I tell you there is a masterpiece of materialist criticism in the English language and perhaps this is it?
Anyway, It's worth a read and it's here:
