In this essay, Mr. Eliot examines different uses of the word 'culture' and discusses the social, regional and religious conditions which can provide a suitable environment for the development of this particular aspect of civilisation. 'Deserves the serious attention of every readers. ... This is a book notable not only for its sanity but for its deep and sincere feeling. It should be widely read and discussed.'
