This chapter discusses three cardinal aspects of the argument that has been developed in this book. The first is about the incoherences and successes of state action on housing, while the second pertains to the theoretical and material inadequacies of voluntarists, and the third and final cardinal aspect concerns the impact of council housing on working-class social ambitions.Less

This chapter discusses Upton Park, another area emblematic of London. It is a place in a state of constant toing and froing; a place of new arrivals, who might later move on to live elsewhere or they may even form local roots. Of all the places studied, Upton Park is the nearest to the archetype described by the Chicago sociologists in the 1920s. Upton Park is a zone of transition where people come and go. For those who come in, most are trying to put a foot on the first rung of the ladder of economic success and social ambition. Those who have left have already climbed that first rung, and have developed higher aspirations, which this place, this zone of the city, can no longer satisfy. Therefore, Upton Park in this sense, and places like it, always serve as the city's ever-revolving door.Less

This introductory chapter discusses the first known purchaser of a First Folio, Sir Edward Dering, and how his account books allow us to contextualise this book as part of his household, his patterns of leisure and consumption, and his intellectual, political and social aspirations. It outlines what the First Folio is, and establishes some models for thinking about the biography of a book, drawn from anthropology and historical analyses of consumption and acquisition.Less
