Brand: Cambridge University Press
Description
This uncompromisingly empirical study reconstructs the public and private lives of urban business families during the period of England's emergence as a world economic power. Using a broad cross-section of archival sources, it tests the orthodox view that the family as an institution was transformed by capitalism and individualism.
