First published to wide critical acclaim in 1987, Family Fortunes
has become a seminal text in class and gender history, and its
influence in the field continues to be extensive today. The book
explores the middle-class family and its place in the development
of capitalist society. It argues that gender and class need to be
thought about together - that class was always gendered and gender
always classed. Divided into three parts, the book covers religion
and ideology, economic structure and opportunity, and gender in
action across two main case studies: the rural counties of Suffolk
and Essex and the industrial town of Birmingham. This third edition
contains a new introductory section by Catherine Hall, reflecting
on some of the major developments in historical thinking over the
last fifteen years and discussing the evolution of key themes such
as the family. Providing critical insight into the perception of
middle-class society and gender relations between 1780 and 1850,
this volume is essential reading for students of eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century British social history.
