Abstract

Small businesses were at the heart of the economic growth and social transformation that characterized the industrial revolution in Britain. In towns across north-west England, shops and workshops dominated the streetscape, and helped to satisfy an increasing desire for consumer goods. Yet despite their significance, we know surprisingly little about these firms and the people who ran them, for whilst those engaged in craft-based manufacturing, retailing, and allied trades constituted a significant proportion of the urban population, they have been generally overlooked by historians. Instead, our view of the world of business is more usually taken up by narratives of particularly successful firms, and especially those involved in new modes of production. By examining some of the forgotten businesses of the industrial revolution, and the men and women who worked in them, Family and Business During the Industrial Revolution presents a largely unfamiliar commercial world. Its approach, which spans economic, social, and cultural history, as well as encompassing business history and the histories of the emotions, space, and material culture, alongside studies of personal testimony, testatory practice, and property ownership, tests current understandings of gender, work, family, class, and power in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It provides us with new insights into the lives of ordinary men and women in trade, whose relatively mundane lives are easily overlooked, but who were central to the story of a pivotal period in British history.

Abstract

Deze publicatie bevat een collectie van essays over gender in het achttiende-eeuwse Groot-Brittannië; een complexe samenleving met veranderlijke en flexibele genderrollen. De auteurs focussen vooral op de manier waarop een complex web van factoren, waaronder sociale status, leeftijd, locatie en beroep, de retoriek van gender in het leven van individuele mannen en vrouwen herdefinieerden.De essays zijn onderverdeeld in vier delen. Het eerste deel handelt over sociale reputaties, vooral die van de dandy en de actrice, deel twee onderzoekt de economische verandering, werk en armoede in hoofdstukken over vrouwenparticipatie in de het drukkersvak, leraressen en meisjesscholen en arme vrouwen en de armoedepolitiek. Deel drie behandelt gender en politiek, waarin nieuw licht geworpen wordt op de betrokkenheid van vrouwen in de politieke cultuur en deel vier focust op de interpretatie en representatie van mannen en vrouwen in contemporaine periodieken en gedrukte beelden.

Abstract

Newspapers are a vital component of print and political cultures, and as such they informed as well as documented the social and political upheavals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. However, despite the huge influence attributed to them by both contemporary observers and historians, our knowledge of the nature and function of the newspaper press itself remains scant. Press, Politics and the Public Sphere in Europe and North America, 1760-1820 aims to fill this gap by examining aspects of the press in several European countries and America, both individually and comparatively, during this particularly turbulent and important period. Contributors explore the relationship between newspapers and social change, specifically in the context of the part played by the press in the political upheavals of the time. The collection examines the relationship between newspapers and public opinion, and attempts to define their place in the emergence of a 'public sphere'.
