Raymond Williams

Regarding The Country and The City:

Raymond Williams and Richard Hoggart were two Brits I encountered in graduate school and was impressed by their working class values.

I feel to this day that the American clerisy was hell bent on joining the Ivies in their avoidance of working class realities.

Our current political stasis mainly derives from this trahison des clercs.
