Publisher's Note
The Petite Bourgeoisie in Europe 1780-1914 is the first general study of the social, economic, cultural and political development of this ambiguous social group. Through comparative analysis, Geoffrey Crossick and Heinz-Gerhard Haupt examine issues such as the centrality of small enterprise to industrial change, the importance of family and locality, the search for stability with status, and the associated political move to the right. This invaluable and authoritative assessment ably explores the emergence of a distinctive petite-bourgeois cultural and political identity.

Industry Reviews
"What makes 'The Petite Bourgeoisie in Europe, 1789-1914 exciting, however, is that while the object of the authors' pursuit has not changed over the years, their methodological approach has followed the cultural twists and linguistic turns of social history to produce a much more rounded picture of the petit-bourgeois milieu than would have been deemed either possible or necessary twenty years ago."
