This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open
Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.
It is funded by Manchester University. This book examines the
business of charity - including fundraising, marketing, branding,
financial accountability and the nexus of benevolence, politics and
capitalism - in Britain from the development of the British Red
Cross in 1870 to 1912. Whilst most studies focus on the
distribution of charity, Sarah Roddy, Julie-Marie Strange and
Bertrand Taithe look at the roots of the modern third sector,
exploring how charities appropriated features more readily
associated with commercial enterprises in order to compete and
obtain money, manage and account for that money and monetize
compassion. Drawing on a wide range of archival research from
Charity Organization Societies, Wood Street Mission, Salvation
Army, League of Help and Jewish Soup Kitchen, among many others,
The Charity Market and Humanitarianism in Britain, 1870-1912 sheds
new light on the history of philanthropy in the Victorian and
Edwardian periods.
