A Social History of Housing 1815–1985
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-041-13350-6 (ISBN)
Originally published in 1986, for the second edition of this standard text (previously only covering up to 1970) in A Social History of Housing 1815–1985, John Burnett has extended his study to take account of the next fifteen years. It remains a comprehensive and important survey, covering over a century and a half of developments in housing conditions both urban and rural, public and private, and tracing the evolution of mass housing through by-law terraces, back-to-backs and the tower block to the low-rise, high-density estates of the 1980s.
John Burnett (1925–2006) was Professor of Social History at Brunel University. His research was concerned with the day-to-day lives of ordinary people. He was the author of Plenty and Want (1966), A History of the Cost of Living (1969), A Social History of Housing, 1815-1985 (1986), Liquid Pleasures: A Social History of Drinks in Modern Britain (1999) and England Eats Out: A Social History of Eating Out in England from 1830 to the Present (2004). With David Vincent and David Mayall, he published the three-volume annotated bibliography, The Autobiography of the Working Class (1984-1989).
