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. 606 $aMiddle class$zOntario$xHistory$y19th century$vCase studies 606 $aSocial values$zOntario$vCase studies 606 $aClasses moyennes$zOntario$xHistoire$y19e sie?cle$vCas, E?tudes de 607 $aGoderich (Ont. : Township)$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aGalt (Cambridge, Ont.)$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aGoderich (Ont.)$xConditions sociales$y19e sie?cle 607 $aGalt (Cambridge, Ont.)$xConditions sociales$y19e sie?cle 615 0$aMiddle class$xHistory 615 0$aSocial values 615 6$aClasses moyennes$xHistoire 676 $a305.5/5/0971309034 700 $aHolman$b Andrew C$g(Andrew Carl),$f1965-$01514936 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782074903321 996 $aA sense of their duty$93750413 997 $aUNINA
