Book Description:

This book explores the origins of the view of modern society that places a 'middle class' at its centre, as it developed in Britain during the Industrial Revolution. It responds to the newly fashionable and rapidly expanding field of middle class studies, while challenging its fundamental assumptions and offering radically new methods and perspectives.
