520 1 $a"Philanthropy, Patronage, and Civil Society features a set of comparative case studies that challenge long-held and little-studied assumptions about the modern development of philanthropy and patronage over the course of the last three centuries. With a focus on the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Germany, the essays reveal the important civic and cultural role played by philanthropy in the emergence of modern, industrialized societies. They show the extent to which civic institutions were dependent on private support and how the wealthy classes defined themselves through their philanthropic activities in a context that transcended national boundaries. The importance of transatlantic contacts, and the lessons learned by North American philanthropists who looked to Europe first while devising their own plans for private action, emerge as crucial to our understanding of modern philanthropy. Students and scholars of philanthropy, class and group identity, and transatlantic cultural relationships will welcome the scope and sophistication of the contributions."--BOOK JACKET.
