Merriman, John M., ed. Consciousness & Class Experience in Nineteenth-Century Europe. NY; Holmes & Meier, 1979. 261 pp. 11 essays (7 on French topics) by Tilly, Sewell, Merriman, Gay, others. "The wealth of insight and empirical data afforded by the social sciences is brought to bear on the tumultuous social changes in 19th-century Europe. As Merriman observes: 'Bourgeois, revolutionary, and rebellious, the 19th century in Europe was a period of intense change: in it the economic, social, and political structure of the continent was fundamentally altered.' The development of industrial capitalism and the growth of the centralized state cut deeply into traditional patterns of work, leisure, and allegiances. With old ways of thinking and living under assault, new strategies and identities emerged to meet the challenge of a rapidly modernizing world. The major theme of this book is the change in Europe's collective consciousness during the 19th century, how people perceived change in their lives and work, and how they responded to it."
