This book of essays on British social and cultural history since
the eighteenth century draws attention to relatively neglected
topics including personal and collective identities, the meanings
of place, especially locality, and the significance of cultures of
association. Themes range from rural England in the eighteenth
century to the urbanizing society of the nineteenth century; from
the Home Front in the First World War to voluntary action in the
welfare state; from post 1945 civic culture to the advice columns
of teenage magazines and the national press. Various aspects of
civil society connect these themes notably: the different
identities of place, locality and association that emerged with the
growth of an urban environment during the nineteenth century and
the shifting landscape of twentieth-century public discourse on
social welfare and personal morality. It is of interest that
several of the essays take Manchester or Lancashire as their focus.
