"'The founding text of television studies. A true Classic: Always worth consulting for its style, scope, and insights.'."

-Charlotte Brunsdon
"'Williams understood that TV was the theatre of capitalism, the drama of modernity. He took both drama and capitalism seriously, and this book is the result -- a decisive moment in the formation of TV studies as a properly theorized field, and a permanently useful account of cultural form.'."
-John Hartley, Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, University of Queensland
