Television
‘The founding text of television studies. A true classic;
always worth consulting for its style, scope, and insights.’
Jostein Gripsrud, University of Bergen
‘This book 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, University of Warwick
‘Television: Technology and cultural form is a powerful
and original book which marked the beginning of a new
breed of British accounts of television. Instead of focusing
solely on the content of television programs, it examined
the shaping effect of television’s technological structures
upon its characteristic forms.’
Graeme Turner, University of Queensland
‘Williams understood that TV was the theatre of capital-
ism, the drama of modernity. He took both drama and cap-
italism seriously, and this book is the result – a decisive
moment in the formation of TV studies as a properly theor-
ized field, and a permanently useful account of cultural
form.’
John Hartley, Queensland University of Technology
