SYNOPSIS: The emergence of "social history" - the study of society and the many ways in which people as individuals, groups, and classes inter-react to create social change - is one of the most significant developments in Canadian historical writing in the last fifteen years. Canada's Age of Industry, 1849-1896 is the third in a five-volume series of readers designed to present an overview of Canada's social history, encompassing such topics as economic development, social structure, politics, religion, work and workers, and the changing role of women. This volume presents a series of scholarly articles which range from an essay by Gregory Kealey on Toronto's Industrial Revolution in the last half of the nineteenth century to a fascinating study by Wendy Mitchinson of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, A Study of Nineteenth-Century Feminism. Also included are examinations of the working class, violence and protest, social structure, and government encouragement of industrial development from 1849 to 1896. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
