High Culture is the academic term given to a set of cultural products, mainly in the arts, held in the highest esteem by a culture. The term was introduced into the English language with the publication of\\ Culture and Anarchy by Matthew Arnold in 1869, although the term has a longer history in continental Europe. Although the Western concept of High Culture concentrates on the Graeco-Roman tradition, much of high culturenowadays consists of the appreciation of what can be denominated as “High Art”, which is a slightly broader term than Arnold’s, that besides literature also includes music, visual arts, and traditional forms of performing arts
