This book studies the making of the bourgeoisie the Baltic Sea
region in the nineteenth Century. This region was peripheral in
comparison to England and France, with respect to urbanization,
economic development, liberalism, and consumption. The bourgeoisie
was still a class-to-be. By the end of the Century the bourgeoisie
was a self-aware class incorporated in the European bourgeoisie.
Their life style was mostly the same as in Western Europe, but
there were also some cultural differences. The author argues that
in the Baltic Sea area, this life style was shaped by both women
and men. Thus, the study deals with the heterosocial life in
private homes. Society life became an important instrument for
defining and controlling the new social boundaries. This was also
where, through the encounters among like-minded people, values and
norms were tested, negotiated, and honed. This is studied in the
context of the new ideals and morals connected to the bourgeoisie:
a bourgeois work ethic based on industriousness and hard work, and
the quiet family life of the home. The focus is on the calls, the
hub around which society life was formed. No social interaction in
the home was possible without morning calls.
