- This book, arising from a large ESRC grant, is an open access monograph that breaks new ground in humanitarian history. It builds on a vast range of archives to bring into sharp relief the history of philanthropy and fundraising in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Reviewed in Urban History, Histoire Sociale, Journal of British Studies, History and Business History, the reviewers have unanimously commented on its originality, ‘tightly argued’ structure and that the book ‘makes a strong case for the importance of understanding charities as having one foot in the world of business and entrepreneurship’.
