This fact of place and class has to beconsidered as the start point for a thread which runs through his lifeand his work. In Raymond Williams: From Wales to the World this reality isconsidered as his life and work are traced out across borders, topeople and places he could yet bring understanding and engagement.Throughout the book, Williams' writing, whether theoretical,historical, critical or as fiction has been treated as a single whole,recognising that his ideas were interwoven as a literary andintellectual re-engagement with Wales over several decades. In this collection of essays edited by Stephen Woodhams, RaymondWilliams: From Wales to the World serves to further engage andextend his ideas of class and society.
