A Nation of Shopkeepers reflects some of the most exciting research on retail history and cultures of consumption. The contributors challenge existing ideas about retail development showing how, for example, large-scale retailers played a far lesser role in the development of the modern city than is generally thought, and how the success of department stores was determined less by ‘entrepreneurial’ spirit and more by the unforeseen consequences of legislation.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "A Nation of Shopkeepers" reflects research on retail history and cultures of consumption. The contributors challenge existing ideas about retail development, showing how, for example, large-scale retailers played a far lesser role in the development of the modern city that is generally thought, and how the success of department stores was determined less by "entrepreneurial" spirit and more by the unforseen consequences of legislation. With the growing interest in cultures of consumption, this book should be useful to specialists and students in retail history, human geography and social and cultural history. This history of retailing in Britain looks at the development of retail forms, the nature of consumerism and the consumer revolution, the connection between property ownership and retail development, and the complex relations between retailer identities and representations of the trade.
