Family Fortunes: Men and Women of the English Middle Class 1780–1850 Paperback – 1 Aug. 2002

4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 15 ratings

There is a newer edition of this item:

Family Fortunes has become a seminal text in class and gender history. Published to wide critical acclaim in 1987, its influence in the field continues to be extensive. It has cast new light on the perception of middle-class society and gender relations between 1780 and 1850.

This revised edition contains a substantial new introduction, placing the original survey in its historiographical context. Leonore Davidoff and Catherine Hall evaluate the readings their text has received and broaden their study by taking into account recent developments and shifts in the field. They apply current perceptions of history to their original project, and see new motives and meanings emerge that reinforce their argument.

Product description

Review

'Leonore Davidoff and Catherine Hall fascinatingly retell the familiar story of the rising middle class This book convincingly demonstrates that the makers of the English bourgeoisie were women as well as men.' - The Observer; 'Deeply Interesting, superbly researched excellent source material documented, analysed and integrated in this monumental book as never before.' - The Times Literary Supplement; 'Intense, richly informative and suggestive descriptions of both familiar and forgotten worlds. In its combination of fresh discovery and compelling reiteration of the familiar this is a rare book.' - New Society; 'Weighty, meticulous, satisfying' - Women's Review; 'This book will certainly be widely read and is destined to become a standard source.' - Network; 'Property read, this is a subversive book which challenges received notions of both the personal and the political.' - The Guardian

    5.0 out of 5 stars Muy Excelente!
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 September 2014
    I'm not so much mad at the fact that it is written in, as I am about the sloppy hand writing lol just kidding. The book is a great read and in excellent condition for a used book. The cover is smooth and not worn at all. The pages are full and intact. There really aren't any damages and is worth holding on to. I'd definitely buy another book from here next semester. Thanks a lot.

    Reviewed in France on 29 March 2014
    Trop d pages de livre étaient soulignées en orange ce qui gène considérablement la lecture. L'état de cet ouvrage a- t'il été vraiment vérifié par le vendeur ?
    Une description plus claire serait une bonne chose.
