Auteur :
STOBART, J.

Description :
The A. wants to re-examine the existing evidence for the development of polite culture in 18th century Liverpool and reconsider the relationship between the (re)formation of elite groups and the town's experiences of and representations in cultural and urban renaissance. Culture was used to promote a positive image of commercial towns. The contested nature of this process is explored in terms of conflict between different elite groups over the wider image and identity of the town.
