text was drafted by Stuart Hall. The drafts were discussed by the Editorial Group
and the Centre as a whole and substantially revised in the light of suggestions
proposed. We are especially grateful to Richard Johnson and Michael Green for
their detailed comments. Where appropriate, particular articles and extracts are
attributed to individual authors, as are the related section introductions. Chris
Weedon, Andrew Tolson and Frank Mort were responsible for the extensive new
materials contained in the Language section (with additional drafting by Andrew
Lowe). With the exception of the opening extract—authored by an earlier
Literature Group at the Centre, which was responsible for putting together WPCS
4—the section on English Studies has been prepared, discussed and written
collectively by the present English Studies Group, 1978–9 (including Janet
Batsleer, Rob Burkitt, Hazel Corby, Tony Davies, Michael Denning, Michael
Green, Rebecca O’Rourke, Michael O’Shaughnessey, Roger Shannon, Stephen
Shortus and Michael Skovmand).
