Beschreibung

The book shows how representations of society focused on a 'middle class' were infused from the French Revolution onwards with highly charged meanings, meanings that then changed radically under different political circumstances. The author uncovers the historically specific origins and the contingent logic of those characterizations of the middle class that we take today as given, from the narrative of its inexorable rise, through its key role in modern society, to its famous embodiment in domesticity.
