This is an innovative study of middle-class behaviour and property
relations in English towns in Georgian and Victorian Britain.
Through the lens of wills, family papers, property deeds, account
books and letters, the author offers a reading of the ways in which
middle-class families survived and surmounted the economic
difficulties of early industrial society. He argues that these were
essentially 'networked' families created and affirmed by a 'gift'
network of material goods, finance, services and support, with
property very much at the centre of middle-class survival
strategies. His approach combines microhistorical studies of
individual families with a broader analysis of the national and
even international networks within which these families operated.
The result is a significant contribution to the history, and to
debates about the place of structural and cultural analysis in
historical understanding.
