Richard Hoggart (1918-2014), Wikipedia.
The Uses of Literacy is a description and discussion of English working-class culture, particularly in northern England during the 1920s through 1950s.
One can get a glimpse of the people and culture Hoggart discusses in the recent BBC series Melvyn Bragg on Class and Culture (2012) which surveys the English working class, middle class, and upper class during the 20th century.
