Ειδικά κατά τον μέσο 18ο αιώνα, η περίοδος σημαδεύθηκε από πολιτισμική ζωτικότητα, με την ίδρυση του [[Βρετανικό Μουσείο|Βρετανικού Μουσείου]] το 1753, και οι συνεισφορ'ες τόσο διάσημων ανδρών όπως ο Δρ. [[Σάμιουελ Τζόνσον]], ο [[Ουίλλιαμ Χόγκαρθ]], ο [[Σάμιουελ Ρίτσαρντσον]], και ο [[Γκέοργκ Φρίντριχ Χέντελ]], μεταξύ πολλών άλλων.
Georgian society and its preoccupations were well portrayed in the novels of writers such as [[Henry Fielding]], [[Mary Shelley]] and [[Jane Austen]], characterised by the architecture of [[Robert Adam]], [[John Nash]] and [[James Wyatt]] and the emergence of the [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic Revival]] style, which hearkened back to a supposed [[Golden Age|golden age]] of building design.
The flowering of the arts was most vividly shown in the emergence of the [[Romanticism|Romantic]] [[Poet|poets]], principally through [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]], [[William Wordsworth]], [[Percy Bysshe Shelley]], [[William Blake]], [[John Keats]], [[George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron|Lord Byron]] and [[Robert Burns]]. Their work ushered in a new era of poetry, characterized by vivid and colourful language, evocative of elevating ideas and themes.
The paintings of [[Thomas Gainsborough]], [[Joshua Reynolds|Sir Joshua Reynolds]] and the young [[J. M. W. Turner]] and [[John Constable]] illustrated the changing world of the Georgian period - as did the work of designers like [[Lancelot "Capability" Brown|Capability Brown]], the [[Landscape architecture|landscape designer]].
