A LEGACY FOR THE WHOLE LIFE

Through the time we have been able to observe how great events and the growth of great

empires have constituted art around the world. One of the most important legacies is

undoubtedly that of the United Kingdom, since in the course of its history different empires

left marks of their beliefs and customs, this was a fundamental piece in the development of

British culture, contributing to the art different styles. The importance and influence of

British culture can be seen reflected in the language, customs, traditions and standards of

some of its former colonies such as New Zealand, Australia, India and Canada. Then, we

will see the most important elements artistic of the British culture.

British literature is considered one of the most important in the world, the great

literary tradition of the United Kindom leads it to be the largest book publisher in the world.

The tradition began a long time ago and has envolved over the years through different

movements. Different authors have made the literature of the United Kingdom transcend

many regions of the world, from the Anglo-Saxon era to modern literatura, contributing to

the English language a huge vocabulary due to its diverse content and the way they tell

their stories. In recent years British literature has been established with more force,

reaching the top of the lists of the most read books in the world; the style and manner in

which each author has decided to impose his own stamp on each publication, have made

the literature of the United Kingdom one of the most interesting and enriching in the world

because in addition to its fantasy content or suspense show us part of the history that has

contributed to the development and culture of the country.


One of the most significant contributions of British culture has been music, based

on the different wars that took place in the United Kingdom, different bands emerged that

generated a new cultural movement based on rock, their lyrics are a reflection of what was

happening, although they were also used as a protest mode since many didn’t agree with

the political handling at that time. Starting from this movement also generated a new way

of dressing that reflected a spirit of rebellion in order to show their disagreement to what

society taught. Over time the music of the United Kingdom has become more popular, this

has caused other countries to adopt the different genders that emerged in British culture

and impose their own style with lyrics that also show the reality of each country. In

addition, technological, economic and social changes led to new forms of music en the

19th century, including the brass Brand, which originated a popular and communal form of

classical music. In the 1930, the influence of American jazz led to the creation of the

British dance bands, which provided social and popular music that began to dominate

social events and radio broadcasts.

The United Kingdom was a strong influence on the development of cinema since

it has always been considered an economic and cultural power. In 1988, the first images in

motion arose and a few years later the first color images were developed, making British

culture one of the most innovative in the field of cinema. During the wars the precursors of

this new art form decided to make documentaries in which the attacks in London stood

out, from that moment the documentaries took more strength and began to produce so

that people knew different events that marked the history of the world.

Later new genres emerged, leading to British cinema to a more commercial approach that

was expanding in different film industries. It is important to highlight the influence of British
cinema around the world due to the fact that, thanks to its discoveries and technological

advances, cinema made significant progress in a short time.
