Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 318pp. Maroon cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Dust jacket has minor shelf wear, light chipping to top edge, price unclipped. 8vo. Essays concerning issues which have preoccupied the author's varied life - the role of culture in society, the pleasures of literature and its relevance to our everyday lives, the importance of education, and the ways in which culture, literature and education all influence, and are in turn affected by, politics. He questions whether museums are inevitably political institutions? And whether it is appropriate to defend the right to publish 'even hateful' stuff? If social workers have gone so far in identifying with the interests of their 'clients' that they have forgotten that they are employed to serve the interests of society as a whole? He passionately defends academics playing a role in public debate, and sets out his concept of the proper role of universities in a free society. He celebrates the 'very English voice' of D.H. Lawrence with a vivid account of his own role in the Lady Chatterley trial. Seller Inventory # 007567
