Williams was best known as a socialist intellectual and author of 'Culture and Society' (1958). He wrote extensive non-fiction on similar themes. His fiction work is defined by the acclaimed Border Country trilogy and its examination of family and community in a gradually changing society. With profound relevance to today's Wales, these novels are deservedly now held as outstanding modern classics.These books are rarely available as a set and in first impressions. The superbly drawn dust jackets are all present and make for an attractive and cohesive collection.All books are clean with only a couple of small inscriptions. There are no marks, deletions, or damage apart from some slight and expected foxing to some text block edges.Dust jackets are all intact with only usual losses to spine extremities. Border Country's is near fine if a little sunned to rear. Second Generation has an unfortunate stain to one of the title letters.

Free 48-hour tracked shipping within the UK for all orders.
In the UK, we normally use Royal Mail. POSTAGE IS FREE WITHIN THE UK.
Different postage rates are applied at checkout for customers ordering from outside the UK. The rates shown are INDICATIVE ONLY based on packages of up to 2kg. Exceptions will be discussed on a case by case basis. POSTAGE MAY BE ADJUSTED UP OR DOWN and you may receive a notification advising a change of charge to your payment method.
We deliberately recycle packaging. Your books will be given much care and attention before dispatch and will be sent in pre-used materials.
As a matter of course, all our books are cleaned sensitively, researched, catalogued, photographed and thus treated with the respect a vintage artefact deserves. We then re-cover most of our books in new, industry standard protective wrappers. These are inert, acid-free, and will not harm the book or dust jacket. We don't do this only if there is already a clean and serviceable wrapper on the book, or if to remove a previous covering would cause damage.
