The public culture of the Victorian middle class: Ritual and authority in the English industrial city 1840–1914
Simon Gunn
Studies the creation of a distinctive 'high' culture in the industrial cities of Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester in the mid-nineteenth century and its incipient decline from the 1880s. This book argues for the importance of ritualised modes of social behaviour in understanding the construction of authority in the nineteenth-century city.
