About This Item
Routledge, 2014. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. Inscription to previous owner written on flyleaf, pages otherwise clean and unmarked. This book challenges scholarship which presents charity and voluntary activity during World War I as marking a downturn from the high point of the late Victorian period. Charitable donations rose to an all-time peak, and the scope and nature of charitable work shifted decisively. Far more working class activists, especially women, became involved, although there were significant differences between the suburban south and industrial north of England and Scotland. The book also corrects the idea that charitably-minded civilians efforts alienated the men at the front, in contrast to the degree of negativity that surrounds much previous work on voluntary action in this period. 270 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: History; ISBN/EAN: 9780415704946. Inventory No: dscf11865. . 9780415704946
