Culture and Society is a book published in 1958 by Welsh progressive writer Raymond Williams, exploring how the notion of culture developed in Great Britain, from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries. Williams argues that the notion of culture developed in response to the Industrial Revolution and the social and political changes it brought in its wake. This is done through a series of studies of famous British writers and essayists, including Edmund Burke, William Cobbett, William Blake, William Wordsworth, F. R. Leavis, George Orwell, and Christopher Caudwell. The book is still in print, in several editions. It has also been translated into many languages.
