Product Description
Review
"'The founding text of television studies. A true Classic: Always worth consulting for its style, scope, and insights.'."
-Jostein Gripsrud
"'This books is a classic because it inaugurated ways of thinking about a new technology - television - as part of everyday material culture which are even more pertinent to us now as we enter the digital age.'."
-Charlotte Brunsdon
"'Williams understood that TV was the theatre of capitalism, the drama of modernity. He took both drama and capitalism seriously, and this book is the result -- a decisive moment in the formation of TV studies as a properly theorized field, and a permanently useful account of cultural form.'."
-John Hartley, Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, University of Queensland
Product Description
From the often-named 'founding father' of TV studies, this is the much-anticipated third edition of a text, first published in 1974, that has become known as the founding text for television studies. In this new age of reality TV, this book remains remarkably prescient.
