Talk:Raymond Williams
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Updated my father's entry a little. I hope to add more later on. --GwydionM 19:48, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Tidied and improved 'Publications', as well as adding individual entires for some of the books. Also corrected some of the links, like 'Cobbet' and 'Orwell' that led to the subject-matter rather than the specific book. --GwydionM 21:12, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
I added Paul Jones's 2004 book to the bibliogrpahy. It's a good one. 81.108.55.78 18:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Further Identification
I am certain that this article refers to THE Raymond Williams (i.e. the most prolific and well-know), but I am having some trouble connecting some other works by possibly other Raymonds.
Did he have a middle name and did he ever use it (or an middle initial)?
Was he the same Raymond Williams who was London Correspondent for The Nation? Samatva 21:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Raymond Henry Williams, though the middle name was never used. Nicely spotted, and I will fix the main article.
- As for The Nation, unlikely. Giving a date would help, though.
- There is also an unconnected 'Raymond Williams' who wrote about Analogue Computers. He's indexed in the cataglogue of the British Library, I saw him there ages ago. --GwydionM 18:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks, "70.51.127.143"
A set of useful enhancements to the article about my father. You're wrong on one small point, the preparation of his last work, which I am revising.
It would be nice if you registered and became a regular contributor. (Assuming there isn't some sound reason you can't.) People get inherently suspicious of unregistered contributors, a lot of whome do damage.
