Abstract��
Richard Hoggart’s The Uses of Literacy is ge nerally taken to be an initiation of English cultural studies, and it also became one of the starting points of the "cultural controversy" emerged from the " first" New Left. The focal issues include whether Hoggart and this work fall under Leavisism, and what historical situation his work was born, but the historic al specificities and implications have not been given due examination so that the research literature on Hoggart has fallen into an either-or cycle. The papert akes into consideration the historial background of Hoggart’s The Uses of Literary and reveals the historical specificities and their influences on the work and its author so that it may illuminate the understanding of Hoggart’s limitations and innovation.
