Description

This is a much enlarged edition with 4 further essays and a new introduction added of Professor Rubinstein s influential study of the evolution and composition of Britain s elites since 1750. The author is the leading historian who has reshaped our knowledge of the top strata of British society. He shows the key importance of London and of the relative insignificance of the manufacturing and heavy industries of the North of England for Britain s elite of wealth and power. He focuses on the development of Britain s wealth and elite structures since industrialisation. The work is based on intense and original pioneering research into individual wealth-holders and elite members. The essays include three which discuss survivals in modern British history, patterns and movements which historians have overlooked because they shouldn t be there . A substantial new introduction reviews the recent historiography of the subject, and brings up-to-date earlier material. Contents: New introduction; list of tables; Wealth: The Victorian Middle Classes: Wealth, Occupation and Geography; Wealth, Elites an the Class Structure of Modern Britain; The Geographical Distribution of Middle-class Income in Britain, 1800-1914; Entrepreneurial Effort and Entrepreneurial Success: Peak Wealth-holding in Three Societies, 1850-1939. Elites: New Men of Wealth and the Purchase of Land in Nineteenth-Century Britain; Education and the Social Origins of British Elites, 1880-1970; The Evolution of the British Honours System Since the Mid-Nineteenth Century; Survivals: The End of Old Corruption in Britain, 1780-1860; Charles Dickens, R.
