Fifty Years Of Civic History, 1895-1945

By H Marie Dermitt

Book Overview

Between 1895 and 1945, civic life was remade from the ground up. In Fifty Years Of Civic History, 1895-1945, H. Marie Dermitt follows the evolution of local government and community life across an era of rapid change. These were turbulent, formative years. Attentive to municipal decisions, social conditions and the responsibilities of public service and citizenship, Dermitt presents a rich civic and social history that illuminates how communities organised themselves, how authority was exercised, and how ideas of duty, reform and belonging shaped everyday experience in the early twentieth century. Part local community history book, part municipal government history study, this volume offers a detailed 1895-1945 civic history that speaks to the wider currents of social and political history and the urban reform movement. It serves as an accessible narrative for general readers curious about community development and reform, and as a reliable civic history reference book and historical reference for researchers, policy thinkers and a reference for history students studying the structures and culture of civic life. For students of civic history, this thoughtful primary study of community organisation and governance offers a rare, ground-level view of how modern civic culture took shape. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for casual readers, researchers and collectors of classic history and literature alike.
