    Perspectives on Consumption and Society since 1700

    by Laura Ugolini ...
    Series series The History of Retailing and Consumption
    The study of consumption and its relationship to cultural and social values has become a vibrant and important field in recent years. Hitherto however, relatively few detailed and full length works on this topic have been published. In what will become a seminal volume, this book examines retail selling in various historical contexts and locations, as both an activity at once 'mundane' and almost ... Read more

    Sartorial Consumption in Britain 1880–1939

    by Laura Ugolini ...
    Series series The History of Retailing and Consumption
    Despite increasing academic interest in both the study of masculinity and the history of consumption, there are still few published studies that bring together both concerns.

  • Fathers and Sons in the English Middle Class, c. 1870–1920

    by Laura Ugolini ...
    Series series Routledge Research in Gender and History
    This book explores the relationship between middle-class fathers and sons in England between c. 1870 and 1920. We now know that the conventional image of the middle-class paterfamilias of this period as cold and authoritarian is too simplistic, but there is still much to be discovered about relationships in middle-class families. Paying especial attention to gender and masculinities, this book ... Read more

    Middle–class men on the English Home Front, 1914–18

    by Laura Ugolini ...
    Series series Cultural History of Modern War
    The history of the First World War continues to attract enormous interest. However, most attention remains concentrated on combatants, creating a misleading picture of wartime Britain: one might be forgiven for assuming that by 1918, the country had become virtually denuded of civilian men and particularly of middle-class men who – or so it seems – volunteered en masse in the early months of war. ...

  • Keeping Up Appearances

    Fashion and Class Between the Wars

    by Catherine Horwood ...

From the impecunious youth anxious to create a favourable impression at the local tennis club dance to female office workers advised by the Daily Mail that women in business kept 'their position partly, ...

The keen-eyed Nella Last shops assiduously at Barrow Market as austerity and rationing gradually give way to relative abundance; housewife Judy Haines, relishing the detail of suburban life, brings up her children in ...
