The rise of professional society: England since 1880 - Hardcover
The long-awaited sequel to "The Origins of Modern English Society" focuses on the rise of the 'forgotten middle class', the non-capitalist or professional class which the chief social commentators left out of their analyses. This book should be of interest to advanced students and lecturers in social and economic history.
