Charity Rediscovered: Study of Philanthropic Effort in Nineteenth-century Liverpool Book

This is a reprint of a classic study which describes in a readable and graphic fashion the severe social problems of the Victorian era and the response, in particular, of the provincial middle classes to the turbulent society about them. The book is an exceptionally interesting introduction to the history of voluntary services in Great Britain and to the origins of modern ideas of social welfare and responsibility."a little classic of absorbing interest... which deserves to be read not only by students of Liverpool’s history, but by all who are interested in the nineteenth century."—Public Administration"... a book of charm and importance..."—The Guardian"... a valuable contribution to social history... an absorbingly interesting book."—Times Literary SupplementRead More
