The Politics of Modernism Against the New Conformists
This is an exploration of the ambivalent relationship between revolutionary politics and modernist or avant-garde art. Williams clarifies many of the issues that have dogged recent critical discussion: the term "modernism" itself; the distinction between modernism and avant garde; and the possibility of a cultural theory "beyond the modern" which avoids the pitfalls of postmodernism.
