Editorial Review Product Description Walvin suggests that, having bannedmusic, art, dancing, and just about every other form of entertainment,the Quakers had both the time and the discipline to concentrate onbusiness. A combination of individual self-abnegation and awell-connected worldwide community of fellow believers helped createsuch successful institutions as Barclays Bank, Lloyds of London, andCadbury. At the same time the Quakers were amassing great fortunes,they were committed to worthy social causes as well, chiefly theabolition of slavery. Walvin's study of the culture and contradictionsof 19th-century Quakerism provides insight into a little-known side ofthis religion. Customer Reviews (2)

A mystery with an interesting Quaker background
Describes Cambridge well, but very little "mystery" here..
A wonderful mystery featuring an elderly Quaker sleuth However, that's just quibbling -- and probably something with which only a Quaker would find fault.If you enjoy comparatively light mysteries (no profanity, sex, vulgarity, or fast-paced, high-level spy themes) with a Miss Marple type of elderly woman thrust into the role of sleuth) and would like a glimpse of the Quaker beliefs, you should greatly enjoy this book.I certainly did!
Curl up with this and a cup of tea
A charming mystery with great personality. |

I could not set this book down.
Fascinating study of social leadership in America Baltzell takes these difference back tothe colonial period and the dramatic differences in the viewpoints of thePuritans who founded Boston and the Quakers who founded Philadelphia. Healso sees these changes working forward as the old upper-class socializeimmigrant elites into their respective patterns, producing the Kennedy clanout of Boston, and Grace Kelly out of Philadelphia.Many of the pointshere can also be seen in David Hackett Fischer's Albion'sSeed. Baltzell's bedrock conviction is that every society needs an upperclass and is going to get one whether it likes it or not (the history ofrevolutions proves this rather conclusively).Those who see the very factof social stratification as an personal affront will of course getaffronted.The interesting point he makes though is that many thingsanti-elitists think are opposites actually go together.As he shows fromhis examples, social tolerance goes together with a much more blatantlymoney-conscious and just plain richer upper-class, and societies withwidespread hostility to "elites" also show deep cynicism abouttheir leadership and society in general, a cynicism merited by thegenerally short-sighted and narrowly (as opposed to broadly) selfishbehavior of the upper class. Does this sound familiar?Baltzell's finalpoint is that in the wake of the sixties, which he compares to the Englishcivil war (1640-1660) environment that spawned the Quakers and released"a host of self-righteous seekers" on the land," Americanleadership has moved much closer to the nakedly plutocratic andirresponsible leadership model found in Philadelphia.And along with thischange in the upper class has grown egalitarianism, openness to immigrants,cynicism, leadership gridlock, and social tolerance. The irony of communalutopianism producing results exactly opposite of what was intended wouldnot have surprised de Tocqueville, Baltzell's great mentor insociology. Don't think that this book is just about grand theory--it isfilled with a host of fascinating portratits of the two cities' upperclasses, and so contains a good deal of the achievers of America fromcolonial days to World War II. The simple quantitative analysis iseffective and not off-putting. ... Read more |
