Whilst most studies focus on the distribution of charity, Sarah Roddy, Julie-Marie Strange and Bertrand Taithe look at the roots of the modern third sector, exploring how charities appropriated features more readily associated with commercial enterprises in order to compete and obtain money, manage and account for that money and monetize compassion. Drawing on a wide range of archival research from Charity Organization Societies, Wood Street Mission, Salvation Army, League of Help and Jewish Soup Kitchen, among many others, The Charity Market and Humanitarianism in Britain, 1870-1912 sheds new light on the history of philanthropy in the Victorian and Edwardian periods."--Bloomsbury Publishing.CharitiesGreat BritainHistory19th centuryCharitiesGreat BritainHistory20th centuryCharitiesHistory19th century.CharitiesHistory20th century.361.26Roddy Sarah952096Strange Julie-Marie1973-Taithe BertrandUtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910597891303321The charity market and humanitarianism in Britain, 1870-19142938740UNINA
