Features: Modernism and the Politics is an essay collection compiled according to Williams' pre-existing plan during his lifetime. It gathers 11 articles he wrote in the last decade of his life (excluding the Appendix). Although the themes of these articles differ, they share a central thread—the issues of modernism and the avant-garde that Williams had been concerned with since his student days. He examines these issues within the framework of cultural studies, proposing the cultural theory of "beyond modernism" while avoiding the pitfalls of "postmodernism."
