Abstract

For roughly a decade radio galaxies provided us with our only view of galaxies at redshifts beyond one. In recent years to significant changes have occured. Firstly, thre are now a significant number of radio quiet galaxies known at redshifts between 1 and 4 and these provide more useful probes of galaxy evolution and cosmology. Secondly, we have learned that the radio galaxies are not simple systems and that non-stellar light may contribute significantly to their continua in the rest-frame UV. Radio galaxies are still of interest in their own right and they are quite relevant to the topic of this workshop. Radio galaxies offer us our best examples of large scale line-emitting gas at interesting redshifts. The may also ultimately provide us with a sensitiveprobe of dust in the early universe.
