Raymond Williams and Structures of Feeling - Louise Braddock

Raymond Williams is one of the most important�anglophone�cultural critics of the twentieth century. In�a�distinguished career, his readings of the British literary canon offered radical new ways of�looking at�British society as it developed from the Romantic period�into the modern age. Central to this�reevaluation�was the idea of `structures of feeling',�which Williams�shaped�in order to�explain the ways in which members of societies felt about one another, and how they�changed over time. The authors�of the present�volume examine the idea of structures of feeling,�and its value for ongoing contemporary debates about relationships of human feeling in areas such as anthropology, economics, law, literary studies, philosophy,�psychology�and social geography.�
