Editorial Reviews: Product Description This study breaks new ground in its analysis of how peole both create and adapt to the process of industrialization. It offers a substantial scholarly case-study of the Potteries, which both complements and in some respects challenges studies of family structure in other areas during the nineteenth cetnruy. Marguerite Dupree focuses on family relationships--between husbands and wives, parents and children, individuals and their wider kin network--not in isolation, but in the context of the workplace and of other institutions within the community. She reveals the flexibility of nuclear families with regard to both work and welfare, and highlights the key role of women in shaping the responses of families to their circumstances. Her approach effectively combines demography with social history to offer many valuable insights into industrialization and its impact on family life.

Customer Reviews: An illuminating, specialized analysis of Staffordshire Potteries history September 18, 2007 This book provides an in-depth historical analysis of the Staffordshire Potteries, a region of the English Midlands whose primary industry since the mid-eighteenth century has been the specialty manufacture of a diverse range of functional and decorative ceramics that are now sold all over the world. The study positions pottery manufacture, coal mining, and ironwork as the region's principal industries during the mid- to late-nineteenth century period and examines the effects of large-scale industrialization in these areas in relation to the birth, residency, employment, marriage, and mortality patterns of the local population. Drawing heavily from census results, theses and dissertations, economic and governmental reports, and empirical data relating to the six Potteries towns that since 1861 have comprised the borough of Stoke-upon-Trent, the narrative forms a composite picture of the working and social lives of the men, women, and children who inhabited the region during the period. Central to Dupree's analysis is an investigation of the working conditions of those who were employed in pottery manufacture in the decades preceding and subsequent to the extension in 1864 of parliamentary Factory Acts legislation to include jurisdiction over Staffordshire's pottery industry. Despite the specialized nature of this historical narrative, its principal argument is significantly broader in scope. Dupree argues primarily for the advancement of what she terms a "community perspective" approach to performing regionalized historical analysis, meaning that she believes historians who are involved in such work should examine the interrelationships between different occupational and social groups in a given region, as compared to performing historical analyses of a single industry. The difficulty is that although the book advocates this approach, it nonetheless benchmarks itself against a separate manufacturing community--the textile industry of Preston in Lancashire--rather than analyzing in greater detail the Staffordshire Potteries itself during the decades after 1880 in which women gained a leading role in pottery manufacture as a result of the implementation of the Factory Acts legislation. Despite this, however, the book supplies and explores a wealth of illuminating data in order to position the Potteries as a community in which individuals' relationships with their nuclear families were prominent and in which networks comprising kin, neighbors and communities, employers, and social welfare assistance groups allowed for a substantial degree of individual and family autonomy and relative working class economic success even though the pottery workers in particular experienced mortality rates that were substantially higher than the national average during the period.
