Abstract

In the context of the 50th anniversary of its publication, this article examines Raymond Williams’ The country and the city under two key aspects. On the one hand, we attempt to explain the uses and meanings of “structure of feeling”, which organizes the book’s argument as a kind of analytical tool. On the other hand, we will discuss the frequent autobiographical passages that reinforce the reflective and political tone of this work.
