Resumen

• About Culture is an attempt to bring together diverse appreciations of how language, literature, the media, history and customs have influenced the development of related but distinct cultures in societies which have a basic common language. This collection of forty-eight essays offers a broad view of culture in English-speaking countries, and deals with cultural phenomena in varying shapes and forms.
