@book{citeulike:2194991, abstract = {{This book explores the origins of the influential view of modern society that places a "middle class" at its center, as it developed in Britain during the so-called "Industrial Revolution." Using a wider variety of sources and closer methods of textual analysis than previous studies of languages of class, the author develops a nuanced model for the interplay of social reality and social language. He demonstrates that a "middle class"-based language of social description did not simply reflect changes in social structure, but was rather the outcome of political circumstances in a period of radical political change.}}, author = {Wahrman, Dror}, citeulike-article-id = {2194991}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=citeulike09-20&path=ASIN/0521471273}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=citeulike01-21&path=ASIN/0521471273}, citeulike-linkout-2 = {http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=citeulike06-21&path=ASIN/0521471273}, citeulike-linkout-3 = {http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0521471273/citeulike00-21}, citeulike-linkout-4 = {http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=citeulike07-20&path=ASIN/0521471273}, citeulike-linkout-5 = {http://www.worldcat.org/isbn/0521471273}, citeulike-linkout-6 = {http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0521471273}, citeulike-linkout-7 = {http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?keywords=0521471273&index=books&linkCode=qs}, citeulike-linkout-8 = {http://www.librarything.com/isbn/0521471273}, howpublished = {Hardcover}, isbn = {0521471273}, keywords = {authority, class, periodicals, press, representation}, month = {July}, posted-at = {2008-01-04 16:31:18}, priority = {2}, publisher = {{Cambridge University Press}}, title = {Imagining the Middle Class: The Political Representation of Class in Britain, c.1780-1840}, url = {http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=citeulike07-20&path=ASIN/0521471273}, year = {1995} }
