Description

Explore a new perspective on British history with Philanthropy and Voluntary Action in the First World War. Part of the Routledge Studies in Modern British History series, this book re-examines how charity and voluntary work functioned during the Great War. Rather than viewing this era as a decline from the Victorian period, this research shows that charitable donations actually reached an all-time peak. The text examines how the scope of charitable work changed, noting the increased involvement of working class activists and women. It also provides a detailed look at the regional differences in charitable activity between the industrial north and the suburban south of England and Scotland. This work offers a corrected view of the relationship between civilians and soldiers, addressing the idea that home-front charity efforts alienated men serving at the front. For students, historians, and readers interested in the social history of Great Britain, this book provides a deep look into how mobilization and charity shaped the wartime experience.
