Braver Men Walk Away (U) (Ulverscroft General Series)

Consumers' co-operation was an integral part of working-class community life early in the 20th century. The Co-op store was a familiar landmark in most neighbourhoods, particularly in the industrial North, while millions knew their "divi" number off by heart. The author of this text contends that the co-operative movement has usually been regarded as a way of making ends meet for the majority of members, and sometimes as a vehicle for the inculcation of middle-class norms and values. This book contests those views, presenting a critique of the co-operative alternative to emerging capitalist forms of mass consumption in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book examines the ways in which the movement was read or appropriated by middle-class reformers and state socialists, and how the challenge represented by consumers' co-operation was finally contained by private capital and the state after 1918. The author argues that the dominant "mode of consumption" which emerged was not inevitable, but was the outcome of complex social and econmomic struggles only now being investigated.

Nineteenth-century England witnessed the birth of capitalist consumerism. Early department stores, shopping arcades and provision shops of all kinds proliferated from the start of the Victorian period, testimony to greater diffusion of consumer goods. However, while the better off enjoyed having more material things, masses of the population were wanting even the basic necessities of life during the ‘Hungry Forties’ and well beyond. Based on a wealth of contemporary evidence and adopting an interdisciplinary approach, Wanting and having focuses particularly on the making of the working-class consumer in order to shed new light on key areas of major historical interest, including Chartism, the Anti-Corn Law League, the New Poor Law, popular liberalism and humanitarianism. It will appeal to scholars and general readers interested in the origins and significance of consumerism across a range of disciplines, including social and cultural history and literary studies.

The Proper Care of Guinea Pigs

It is commonly accepted that the consumer is now centre stage in modern Britain, rather than the worker or producer. Consumer choice is widely regarded as the major source of self-definition and identity rather than productive activity. Politicians vie with each other to fashion their appeal to 'citizen-consumers'.  When and how did these profound changes occur? Which historical alternatives were pushed to the margins in the process? In what ways did the everyday consumer practices and forms of consumer organising adopted by both middle and working-class men and women shape the outcomes? This study of the making of consumer culture in Britain since 1800 explores these questions, introduces students to major debates and cuts a distinctive path through this vibrant field. It suggests that the consumer culture that emerged during this period was shaped as much by political relationships as it was by economic and social factors.
