Originally published: London : Chatto & Windus, 1958. 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.
