From the rear cover

Containing a broad range of authoritative articles, some specially commissioned, this book cover several key facets of family and community history. The articles have been chosen with three main aims in mind:

  • To show the historical context of various current preoccupations (for example, do families support each other more or less than in the past?);

  • To survey the research already carried out in the field;

  • To guide and help those who wish to undertake their own research.

The volume sets family and community history in a wider context, beyond the personal and the parochial, and develops an understanding of the social and historical patterns and interactions involved. With contributions from historians, anthropologists, sociologists and geographers, it encompasses a great variety of issues within nineteenth- and twentieth-century urban and rural experience, and includes applications of qualitative and quantitative techniques, case studies and up-to-date reviews of research. Wide-ranging and stimulating, this book will be of interest to students in social history, social anthropology and sociology, in addition to those who wish to undertake their own research in family and community history.
