Overturning conventional thinking, this book reveals how the very notion of "culture" developed in response to the industrial revolution, and analyzes its treatment by such writers as Burke, Ruskin, Arnold, Shaw, Lawrence, T.S. Eliot and Orwell. Raymond Williams is the author of "The Country and the City", "The English Novel from Dickens to Lawrence" and "Drama from Ibsen to Brecht".
