This is the story of the great powerhouse of British history - the middle class. The death of feudalism, the advancement of democracy, the spread of literacy, the coming of the industrial and sexual revolutions, the development of mass media - the middle class is never far away, pushing for change, engaging in philanthropy, while always mindful to protect its own interests.

In this account, renowned historian Lawrence James reveals a group so familiar to many of us yet so often
misunderstood - disparate and constantly changing, with a materialism and hunger for advancement that are a chronicle of Britains evolution.
