Review:
The earliest ideas on culture, Mr. Williams claims, developed in opposition to the laissez-faire society of the political economists. As the ideas on culture took shape, on the one hand, they became identified with a 'whole way of life.' On the other hand . . . culture became a court of appeals where "real" values could be determined. Culture, thus separated from the whole society, was associated with the idea of perfection through the study of the arts . . . Mr. Williams contrasts the ideas of' culture as art' and 'culture as a whole way of life, ' and commends the latter . . . the book should definitely be read by all those interested in English intellectual history.
From the Back Cover:
The organizing principle of this book is the discovery that the idea of culture, and the word itself in its general modern uses, came into English thinking in the period which we commonly describe as that of the Industrial Revolution. The book is an attempt to show how and why this happened, and to follow the idea through to our own day.
