The essays address three substantive areas: the sociology of literature, cultural materialism and the cultural politics of the New Left, and utopian and science fiction studies. They are bookended by two conversations between Milner and his editor J.R. Burgmann, the first looking back retrospectively on the development of Milner’s thought, the second looking forward prospectively towards the future of academia, the political left and science fiction.Historical Materialism Book Series167.Literature and societyMaterialism in literatureLiterature and society.Materialism in literature.809.93355Andrew Milner (Author); J.R.
