Richard Hoggart: Culture and Critique provides a detailed and critical analysis of Hoggart's life and work. Some of the contributions come from a personal knowledge of and collegial friendship with Hoggart and help us to know more about particular aspects of his biography. Other contributors have sought to fit Hoggart within a British tradition from Matthew Arnold, through F.R. Leavis to E.P. Thompson and Raymond Williams. Read in their entirety, this lively collection of essays raise fundamental questions about culture and the arts, moral and aesthetic sensibility, educated citizenship and social democracy, and will be of interest to students and academics in social history, literary criticism, media studies and cultural sociology.
