Klappentext: Recent years have seen the coming of age of regional studies, historical and social scientific. The general result has been a deepening in our understanding of the processes of economic and social change. Studies in the Business History of Bristol is the outcome of increased scholarly concern with local variations in experience as well as general phenomena; in this case with a business community and industries which hitherto have been neglected. For whilst maritime and Georgian Bristol have received a good deal of attention from historians, much less is known about the very substantial expansion of the city in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. With one or two notable exceptions, there has been little research on the businessmen and enterprises whose activities have sustained the regional economy in more recent times. Charles Harvey and Jon Press survey the industrial and economic development of Bristol since 1800 in a wide?ranging introductory chapter which sets the scene for the more detailed studies which follow. Several of these concentrate on the affairs of leading Bristol enterprises, such as Frys, Georges, and Brittons, and examine the factors and personalities which made for their success. Other chapters cover entire industries over long periods, laying the foundations for a much needed economic history of the Bristol region. All the chapters are based upon extensive original research, and cover subjects which, despite their obvious importance, have been largely ignored until now. The text is enlivened through the inclusion of more than forty illustrations, many of which are published for the first time. |
