This book brings together studies of cultural institutions in
Manchester from 1850 to the present day, giving an unprecedented
account of the city's cultural evolution. These bring to light the
remarkable range of Manchester's contribution to modern cultural
life, including the role of art education, popular theatre,
religion, pleasure gardens, clubs and societies. The chapters show
the resilience and creativity of Manchester's cultural institutions
since 1850, challenging any simple narrative of urban decline
following the erosion of Lancashire's industrial base, at the same
time illustrating the range of activities across the social
classes. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the
cultural life of the city of Manchester, including cultural
historians, sociologists and urban geographers, as well as general
readers with interests in the city. It is written by leading
international authorities, including Viv Gardner, Stephen Milner,
Mike Savage, Bill Williams and Janet Wolff. -- .
