Drawing from previously unpublished archival sources, this study shows that New Lanark was not merely on the receiving end of Owen’s innovative brand of industrial paternalism, but also acted as a major source of inspiration for many aspects of his social system, including his desire to remodel society along communitarian lines. This book therefore reaffirms the centrality of New Lanark as the cradle of socialism in Britain, and provides a contextualised, social history of Owen’s ideas, tracing direct continuities between his early years as a paternalistic businessman, and his later career as a radical political leader. In doing so, it eschews the myth of New Lanark as a unidimensional ‘model’ village and addresses the ambiguities of Owen’s journey from paternalism to socialism.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | social reform; early socialism; Industrial Revolution; utopianism; entrepreneurism | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-64227-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-87752-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-64227-7Series ISSN 2946-4471 Series E-ISSN 2946-448X | | issn_series | 2946-4471 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
