Through the lens of wills, family papers, property deeds, account books and letters, the author offers a new reading of the ways in which middle-class families survived and surmounted the economic difficulties of early industrial society. He argues that these were essentially 'networked' families created and affirmed by a 'gift' network of material goods, finance, services and support, with property very much at the centre of middle-class survival strategies. His approach combines microhistorical studies of individual families with a broader analysis of the national and even international networks within which these families operated. The result is a significant contribution to the history of the middle classes, to economic, business, urban and gender history, and to debates about the place of structural and cultural analysis in historical understanding. 2013-07-23T07:05:35Z 2013-07-23T07:05:35Z 2005 Book http://scholar.dlu.edu.vn/thuvienso/handle/DLU123456789/34882 en application/pdf Cambridge University |
