Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study charts the development of Britain in the first half of the 20th century, from a nation which was a world power dominated by the ruling classes, to the country in the 1950s which had a Labour government and fledgling public services. It also follows the political and social changes that occurred during this period, including the beginnings of the Welfare State, the emergence of the Labour Party, the impact of World War I, the General Strike and the Depression. The narrative also includes an in-depth look at the changing role of women - their struggle to gain the vote, the position they held in society during the 1920s and 1930s, and their work in two world wars. The author assesses the Welfare State which emerged after the war, asking whether it really did represent a new Jerusalem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrates the vital role Sunday schools played in forming and sustaining faith before, during, and after the Frist World War for British populations both at home and abroad. Sunday schools were an important part of the religious landscape of twentieth-century Britain and they were widely attended by much of the British population. The Sunday School Movement in Britain argues that the schools played a vital role in forming and sustaining the faith of those who lived and served during the First World War. Moreover, the volume contends that the conflict did not cause the schools to decline and proposes that decline instead set in much earlier in the twentieth century. The book also questions the perception that the schools were ineffective tools of religious socialisation and examines the continued attempts of the Sunday school movement to professionalise and improve their efforts. Thus, the involvement of the movement with the World's Sunday School Association is revealed to be part of the wider developing international ecumenical community during the twentieth century. Drawing together under-utilised material from archives and newspapers in national and local collections, The Sunday School Movement in Britain presents a history of the schools demonstrating their lasting significance in the religious life of the nation and, by extension, the enduring importance of Christianity in Britain during the first half of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Poverty in Britain 1900 1965 written by Ian Gazeley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How was poverty measured and defined, and how has this influenced our judgement of the change in poverty in Britain during the first sixty years of the twentieth century? During this period, a large number of poverty surveys were carried out, the methods of which altered after World War II. Commencing with Rowntree's social survey of York in 1899 and ending with Abel-Smith and Townsend's Poor and the Poorest in 1965, Ian Gazeley shows how the means of evaluation and the causes of poverty changed. Poverty in Britain, 1900-1965: - Offers a comprehensive empirical assessment of all published poverty and nutritional enquiries in this era - Reports the results of recent re-examinations of many of the more famous social surveys that took place - Considers the results of these surveys within the context of changing real incomes, the occupational structure and social provision - Evaluates the extent to which the reduction in poverty was due to the actions of the State or to increases in real income (including more continuous income from fuller employment) Detailed yet easy to follow, Ian Gazeley's book is an indispensable guide to the changing face of poverty in Britain during the first six decades of the last century.
