First published in 1977. This book records the emergence of a lower
middle class in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Victorian
society had always contained a marginal middle class of shopkeepers
and small businessmen, but in the closing decades of the nineteenth
century the growth of white-collar salaried occupations created a
new and distinctive force in the social structure. These essays
look at the place of the lower middle class within British society
and examine its ideals and values. Some essays concentrate on
occupational groups - clerks and shopkeepers - while others focus
on aspects of lower middle class life - religion, housing and
jingoism. This title will be of interest to students of history.
