Thesis (Ph.D.)--Brandeis University, 1987.

This study is a work of cultural analysis and interpretation. It argues that an important dimension of Raymond Williams' work as a socialist writer has been ignored because he has been primarily identified as a critic of English literature. This identification has left unexamined the complex nature of Williams' relationship to his indigenous Welsh culture and has left unappreciated the work he has produced as a novelist.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study is a work of cultural analysis and interpretation. It argues that an important dimension of Raymond Williams' work as a socialist writer has been ignored because he has been primarily identified as a critic of English literature. This identification has left unexamined the complex nature of Williams' relationship to his indigenous Welsh culture and has left unappreciated the work he has produced as a novelist.
520 $a As an alternative to studies that have focused on Williams' literary criticism, this dissertation illuminates the importance of Williams' voice as a novelist. It provides an interpretative reading of the three novels that comprise his Welsh Trilogy. It argues that the realist novel provided Williams with a cultural and political form of expression that was not possible through the nonfiction discursive forms available in literary and cultural criticism. In his fiction Williams has developed characters and plots that dramatize and explore the key issues of the period in which each volume of the trilogy was written. Williams has developed a form of realism whereby the meaning of his own life experiences in working class community can resonate outward. His novels are the socialist interventions that have enabled him to explore his Welsh working class background and dramatize the values he learned growing up on the Welsh border in his filiative community of Pandy, Wales.
520 $a In conjunction with testimony drawn from Williams' book of interviews entitled Politics and Letters, his fiction provides a unique prospective on his development as a socialist. Williams' biographical formation is shown to have produced important tensions and conflicts that have characterized his class, cultural and political identity as a writer. As a socialist from the Welsh working class he has been connected to both the problems and the possibilities that define modern day Wales. Yet, Williams has also been affiliated with the British New Left. This dual position, in relation to both Wales and England, has produced in Williams a divided consciousness and a distinct socialism.
