Despite its enduring popularity as a national festival, Christmas
has been largely neglected by English historians. Neil Armstrong
offers the first study to examine both the experience and
representation of Christmas during the formative period of the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book explores the
origins of our deeply held notions of the traditional nature of
Christmas and demonstrates how they were shaped by English
modernity. A study of both continuity and change, Christmas in
nineteenth-Century England makes an important contribution to
cultural and social history, and is essential reading for anyone
interested in the history of childhood, the family, philanthropy,
work and consumerism. Scholarly yet accessible, it will be enjoyed
by academics, students and the general public alike. -- .
