Keywords: a Vocabulary of Culture And Society by Raymond Williams

'Keywords' is a exploration of the actual language of cultural transformation. Neither a defining dictionary nor a specialist glossary, it is the record of an inquiry into a vocabulary - a shared body of words and meanings concerned with the practices and institutions described as 'culture' and 'society'. In a series of connecting essays, Raymond Williams investigates how these 'keywords' have been formed, altered, redefined, influenced, modified, confused and reinforced as the historical contexts in which they were applied changed to give us their current meaning and significance. This 1988 Fontana Press Paperback is in good condition. Owner's name inside; minor spotting.
