Thus, the book is unique in its contribution to an important part of the history and development of sociology in the UK. The chapters discuss the names that – at least until the post-war period – are identified as central to the early phase of British sociology. Husbands documents the impact and influence of these leading figures through material in numerous previously little-used archives. Also explored are the culture of LSE Sociology students, their attitudes, political orientations, and academic attainments. The reputation and influence of LSE Sociology on the general development of the subject in the UK are also assessed. The book will be of interest to sociology students and scholars wanting to know about the discipline’s history, as well as to those with a broader interest in higher-education policy. .Historical sociologyEducational sociology Education and sociologyHistorical Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22130Sociology of Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22070Historical sociology.Educational sociology .Education and sociology.Historical Sociology.Sociology of Education.330.07114212Husbands Christopher Tauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062125BOOK9910337694503321Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science, 1904–20152523058UNINA
