Power and the Professions in Britain 1700-1850 Summary

This book identifies the growth of the professions as a key element in the modernization of Britain. Professional power depended ultimately on public trust in specialist knowledge, but the professions were subjected to ridicule and satire.

`The first large-scale, sustained, and comprehen- sive treatment of the professions in the 18th century...not simply pioneering but also readable and entertaining.' - F.M.L. Thompson, University of London

This book identifies the growth of the professions as a key element in Britain's modernization. Professional power depended ultimately upon public trust in specialist knowledge, but the professions were subjected to a torrent of ridicule and satire. This analysis centers on a discussion of the philosophical questions arising from the complex relationship between power and knowledge. This is an important book for historians, professional educators and for all analysts of power.
