In her lifetime she was widely regarded as an authority on a broad range of social problems. Yet despite her early pre-eminence, and the remarkable success of the institutions which she helped to found, Hill fell from public favour in the twentieth century. This book provides a nuanced portrait of Hill and her work in a broader context of social change, reflecting recent scholarship on nineteenth-century society in general, and on philanthropy and preservation, and women’s role in them, in particular.</p> 01 00 03 02 https://books.uolpress.co.uk/10.14296/917.9781909646582_frontcover.jpg University of London Press 01 University of London Press London, GB 04 19 2017 06 15 9781909646001 06 15 9781909646582 06 15 9781909646346 09 University of London Press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.uolpress.co.uk/10.14296/917.9781909646582.pdf 99 04 09 University of London Press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://uolpress.co.uk/book/octavia-hill-social-activism-and-the-remaking-of-british-society/ 99 04
