Synopsis

'For a sociologist and a social historian to join forces in a book on modern English society was such a good idea that one can only be surprised that it has not been done before. All credit should go to this pioneering effort, which has been very largely successful and which has certainly demonstrated how useful such a combination can be. One can have no doubt that it will be widely read and it will deserve to be so.' The Times Literary Supplement. 'This interesting and well-written textbook is a textbook with a difference. Chapters 1 to 5 are concerned with social history, and Chapters 6 to 10 with current sociology. It hangs together remarkably well since the social history is conceived of in terms of sociological analysis and the sociology is of the kind that draws all the time on historical evidence and on the sense of chronological order. The book is almost totally free of unnecessary jargon, and given the continuing separation between historians and sociologists in most universities and institutions of higher education, it can profitably be read by both.' Asa Briggs, Education and Training. 'For the historian who wants to know in plain language what modern sociologists are talking about it is a very useful survey, covering a wide swathe of the British and American literature on all the important aspects: urban and industrial changes, education and social mobility, social class and class conflict.' Harold Perkin, Economic History Review. 'This is a civilized book, balanced and thoughtful. Provided not only with illustrations but also with charts and tables, it deserves to reach a wide audience, both of students and general readers.' David Rubinstein, Tribune.
