Imagining the Middle Class: The Political Representation of Class in Britain, c.1780–1840 - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
Why and how did the British people come to see themselves as living in a society centred around a middle class? The answer provided by Professor Wahrman challenges most prevalent historical narratives: the key to understanding changes in conceptualisations of society, the author argues, lies not in underlying transformations of social structure - in this case industrialisation, which supposedly created and empowered the middle class - but rather in changing political configurations. Firmly grounded in a close reading of an extensive array of sources, and supported by comparative perspectives on France and America, the book offers a nuanced model for the interplay between social reality, politics, and the languages of class.

Revue de presse
'For all those interested in the question whether class is best seen as a category of social and economic history or as an artefact of political discourse, Imagining the Middle Class is essential - and fascinating - reading.' Gareth Stedman Jones, King's College, Cambridge

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : No Dust Jacket. First Edition. Xiv, 428 pp. Index. Illustrated with 15 figures. Inscribed by the author on the title page.

Interior first free end paper has some light pencil notes, author first name signature on the title page, otherwise clean and unmarked. Still in print but only available new as a paperback. "This book explores the origins of the influential view of modern society that places a "middle class" at its center, as it developed in Britain during the so-called "Industrial Revolution." Using a wider variety of sources and closer methods of textual analysis than previous studies of languages of class, the author develops a nuanced model for the interplay of social reality and social language. He demonstrates that a "middle class"-based language of social description did not simply reflect changes in social structure, but was rather the outcome of political circumstances in a period of radical political change." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 428 pages; Signed by Author.

This book explores the origins of the view of modern society that places a 'middle class' at its centre 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.
