Throughout his life, Richard Hoggart has been involved with four main areas: broadcasting, arts policy, education, and social work, all of which he finds have characteristics in common. This collection of essays represents less than a quarter of his essays published over the last two decades. The subjects, to which he turned again and again and which recur in public debate, are still current and contemporary. His views on culture and society, on literature and censorship, and on higher education are both unique and timely.The volume is divided into six parts. Part 1, Society and Culture: Home and Away, discusses the question, Are museums political?; the use of the battered word culture in relation to UNESCO; and the end of the public service idea. Part 2, A Very English Voice, looks at the rural English culture and country of D. H. Lawrence, and examines the controversy and censorship involved with three of Lawrences works: The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterleys Lover. Part 3, Politics and Literature, reveals the authors penchant for timely debates on such subjects as The State versus Literature and Freedom to Publish: Even Hateful Stuff; and his thoughts on reviewers and reviewing. Part 4, Levels of Education, touches upon the subjects of politics in universities; the use of public funds for various purposes presumed to be socially valuable; academics in the marketplace; and the need for government to foster critical and cultivated literacy. Part 5, Figures from a Distant Past, contains reminiscences on and portraits of Hoggarts close relationships and family. Part 6, Summing Up and Signing Off, is an interview with Nicolas Tredell in which Hoggart discusses his lifes work and concerns.Written in Hoggarts characteristically graceful but direct style, these essays touch on issues of contemporary importance in his unique manner. This volume will be of interest to scholars and general readers interested in culture studies, communications, and education.

D URING A YEAR at the University of Rochester, New York, more than forty years ago, I took part in a day of lectures given by the faculty, designed to exhibit their fine scholarship to local benefactors. Afterwards my closest friend there took me for a walk and patiently rebuked me. What I had said about modern English literature was interesting; the way I said it wasnt. I sounded too relaxed and chatty, my audience expected academics to be solemn, their manner marmoreal.
In the mid-sixties I gave a named annual lecture at Columbia University in New York City. It was subsequently published, so was presumably adequately weighty. Afterwards, I walked to supper with Lionel Trilling. He said he had enjoyed the lecture (incidentally, that enjoyed is a favoured word in Cambridge, England. You enjoy but do not at such a time offer a judgment, even one which would be contained in, say, admired). Trilling went on, roughly to this effect: I couldnt give a lecture in that manner. In the States we cant assume that sort of unbuttoned relationship with our academic audiences. We have to keep a kind of distance.
Back home some years later a very distinguished academic at Cambridge remarked on my habitual use of we, which suggests that I am talking to a known and identified audience; the descendants, perhaps, of Dr. Johnsons common reader, with whom he rejoiced to concur. But, the distinguished academic went on, it is very unlikely that there is such an audience today. Readers of best-sellers, yes; and readers of technical works; and of course academics. But no substantial lay audience who find pleasure in reading for intellectual stimulation, to increase self-knowledge and widen their sense of the way their world is going. I think that critic would have agreed that many highly skilled professionals do read outside their professionalism; he doubted whether there was any sizeable body of, again, lay readers, amateurs in both the French and the English senses, some of whom may not be professionals at all. He presumably would not accept that, taken together, all those make up todays common readers.
