Description
The Middle Class A History by Lawrence James This sweeping history of the British middle class reveals a group so familiar yet so often misunderstood. From the death of feudalism to the spread of literacy and the coming of the industrial and sexual revolutions, the middle class has played a pivotal role in shaping Britain's evolution. Lawrence James, a renowned historian, explores the complex and often contradictory nature of the middle class, with its materialism and hunger for advancement. Through a rich tapestry of fascinating quotations and figures, James sheds light on a group that has been constantly changing, yet always mindful of its own interests. A compelling and entertaining account, this book offers a gripping and illuminating portrayal of a pivotal moment in British history.
