In these essays, Williams, a renowned cultural critic, demonstrates how these key words take on new meanings and how these changes reflect the political bent and values of our past and current society. He chose words both essential and intangible--words like \u003cem\u003enature, underprivileged, industry, liberal, violence\u003c\/em\u003e, to name a few--and, by tracing their etymology and evolution, grounds them in a wider political and cultural framework.
