| | Culture of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | English art is a term referring to a body of art originating from England. | | | Nikolaus Pevsner attempted a definition in his 1956 book The Englishness of English Art. | | | England abounds with folklore, in all forms, from such obvious manifestations as the traditional semi-mystical Arthurian legends and semi-historical Robin Hood tales, to contemporary urban myths and facets of cryptozoology such as the Beast of Bodmin Moor. |

| | England |
| | For England and the rest of Europe, the Death meant a startling decrease in labor and a subsequent rise in the value of labor. | | | This new anti-clerical culture led a number of theologians, writers, and poets in England to begin to speculate about the nature of society, government, economics and human institutions and to forge radically new ideas on all these fronts. | | | This commoner culture would produce a body of literature and music as well as a sensibility that would eventually diffuse into court and higher culture. |

| | This process of linguistic incorporation cannot be divorced from the wider trends of political centralization and educational advance which are such prominent features of life in Tudor and Stuart England. | | | Thanks to the influence of print culture and the cross-fertilization in European intellectual life during the Renaissance, English was enormously enriched and expanded by the infusion of words and phrases from other languages. | | | Instead, dialects continued to express and reflect a popular culture in which literate habits of mind and national processes of incorporation had scarcely undermined oral traditions or subsumed local identities. |

| | This book explores the varied vernacular forms and rich oral traditions which were such a part of popular culture in early modern England. | | | Even at the beginning of the period, centuries of reciprocal infusion between complementary media had created a cultural repertoire which had long ceased to be purely oral. | | | 'Painstaking research in many types of sources enables Fox to tell us far more than we might have thought it possible to know about the permeation of text into popular culture and the contribution of oral tradition to publication and print.' -Times Literary Supplement |

| | Esty, J.: A Shrinking Island: Modernism and National Culture in England. |
| | The first comprehensive account of modernism and imperialism in England, A Shrinking Island tracks the joint eclipse of modernist aesthetics and British power from the literary experiments of the 1930s through the rise of cultural studies in the 1950s. | | | Mixing literary criticism with postcolonial theory, his account of London modernism's end-stages and after-lives provides a fresh take on major works while redrawing the lines between modernism and postmodernism. | | | Focusing on writing that converts the potential energy of the contracting British state into the language of insular integrity, he argues that an anthropological ethos of cultural holism came home to roost in late-imperial England. |
