Disillusionment or New Opportunities? : The Changing Nature of Work in Offices, Glasgow 1880-1914 (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 1998, this book explores the physical and technological changes which occurred in the growing bureaucracies of big-business and of government as well as in the small and mid-size business of the city. The study of these changes provides a context within which to set the complementary experiences of the men and women who chose to seek a living in the wide array of constantly changing office jobs.
