Abstract/Summary

Introduction to a Special Issue of Key Words on Working-Class Writing, co-edited and co-authored with Dr Phil O'Brien. The introduction discusses Williams' theories of working-class writing and his previously unpublished lecture, 'British Working-Class Literature after 1945' (1979) in the context of his other essays on working-class writing. The article goes on to discuss other working-class writers, including Buchi Emecheta and Isabel Waidner, and contemporary publishers endeavouring to support working-class writers today.
