Social Change And The Middle Classes

First Published in 1995. The study of the middle classes actually poses a variety of interesting challenges. Traditionally the social scientific gaze has been directed either downwards to the working classes the poor and the dispossessed or upwards to the wealthy and powerful. For all these reasons a collection of original papers on various aspects of the British middle classes seems an important venture that will cast valuable light on the course of social change in Britain more generally. This book is designed to bring together a series of accessible high-quality research papers on various aspects of the British middle classes.
