Many educated people … have been so driven in on their reading, as a stabilizing habit, that they fail to notice there are other forms of skilled, intelligent, creative activity … a whole range of general skills, from gardening, metalwork, and carpentry to active politics. Raymond Williams, Culture and Society, 1958.
