From the beginning of the nineteenth century, Western Europe
witnessed the emergence of a 'mass' society. Grand social processes
such as urbanisation, industrialisation and democratisation blurred
the previous sharp distinctions that had divided society. This
massive transformation is central to our understanding of modern
society. Comparing the British and Dutch experience of mass society
in the twentieth century, this book considers five major areas:
politics, welfare, media, leisure and youth culture. In each
section, two well-known specialists - one from each country - look
at the conditions in the rise of a mass society, and show how there
were distinctively British and Dutch conditions in the rise of a
mass society. Drawing on history, cultural studies and sociology,
the authors bring new insight into the development of modern
European society.
