The Charity Market and Humanitarianism in Britain, 1870-1912

Autor Dr. Sarah Roddy, Prof. Julie-Marie Strange, Prof. Bertrand Taithe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 dec 2018
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Manchester University.This book examines the business of charity - including fundraising, marketing, branding, financial accountability and the nexus of benevolence, politics and capitalism - in Britain from the development of the British Red Cross in 1870 to 1912.Whilst most studies focus on the distribution of charity, Sarah Roddy, Julie-Marie Strange and Bertrand Taithe look at the roots of the modern third sector, exploring how charities appropriated features more readily associated with commercial enterprises in order to compete and obtain money, manage and account for that money and monetize compassion.Drawing on a wide range of archival research from Charity Organization Societies, Wood Street Mission, Salvation Army, League of Help and Jewish Soup Kitchen, among many others, The Charity Market and Humanitarianism in Britain, 1870-1912 sheds new light on the history of philanthropy in the Victorian and Edwardian periods.

Recenzii

"[A] well-researched, solid, and broadly persuasive addition to the literature on philanthropy in Britain.
Descriptive ... [and] expands our knowledge of the growing charitable work of the period, especially of fund-raising techniques.
A compelling reexamination of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century philanthropic field. It will be of interest not only to historians of philanthropy and social reform, but also to business historians and, perhaps most importantly, to those currently involved in nonprofit work.
