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
