{"product_id":"9780198760610","title":"Marxism and Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book extends the theme of Raymond Williams's earlier work in literary and cultural analysis. He analyzes previous contributions to a Marxist theory of literature from Marx himself to Lukacs, Althusser, and Goldmann, and develops his own approach by outlining a theory of 'cultural materialism' which integrates Marxist theories of language with Marxist theories of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliams moves from a review of the growth of the concepts of literature and idealogy to a redefinition of 'determinism' and 'hegemony'. His incisive discussion of the 'social material process' of cultural activity culminates in a re-examination of the problems of alignment and commitment and of the creative practice in individual authors and wider social groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022916272368,"sku":"9780198760610","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780198760610_p0.jpg?v=1763667301","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780198760610","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
