Culture and Society 1780–1950 is one of Raymond Williams’ most influential works, tracing the changing meanings of culture, society, industry, democracy, class, and art from the late eighteenth century to the mid twentieth century. Through writers and thinkers such as Burke, Coleridge, Carlyle, Mill, Ruskin, Arnold, Morris, Lawrence, Eliot, and Orwell, Williams explores how cultural ideas developed alongside industrialisation, social change, and modern political life.
