Thompson shows, was fragmentation into a multiplicity of sections or classes with differing standards and notions of respectability. One of England?s grand masters of history provides a clear and persuasive interpretation of the creation of ?respectable society? in Victorian Britain. Integrating a vast amount of research previously hidden in obscure or academic journals, he covers not only the economy, social structure, and patterns of authority, but also marriage and the family, childhood, homes and houses, work and play.
