How did the members of the middle class define themselves? Though simple, these questions have escaped the attention of social historians in recent writing about Canada. The Victorian middle class, referred to as the backbone of economic change, the motor of political reform, and the source of one set of moral standards, has eluded systematic study. A Sense of Their Duty corrects this and reconstructs the identities that middle-class Victorians made for themselves in an era of economic change.Middle classOntarioHistory19th centuryCase studiesSocial valuesOntarioCase studiesClasses moyennesOntarioHistoire19e siecleCas, Etudes deGoderich (Ont. : Township)Social conditions19th centuryGalt (Cambridge, Ont.)Social conditions19th centuryGoderich (Ont.)Conditions sociales19e siecleGalt (Cambridge, Ont.)Conditions sociales19e siecleMiddle classHistorySocial valuesClasses moyennesHistoire305.5/5/0971309034Holman Andrew C(Andrew Carl),1965-1634616MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815172703321A sense of their duty3974931UNINA
