Goldman focuses on the activity of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, known as the Social Science Association. For three decades this served as a forum for the discussion of Victorian social questions and as an influential adviser to governments, and its history discloses how social policy was made in these years. The Association, which attracted many powerful contributors, including politicians, civil servants, intellectuals and reformers, had influence over policy and legislation on matters as diverse as public health and women's legal and social emancipation. The SSA reveals the complex roots of social science and sociology buried in the non-academic milieu of nineteenth-century reform. And its influence in the United States and Europe allows for a comparative approach to political and intellectual development in this period. 517 3 $aScience, Reform, & Politics in Victorian Britain 606 $aSocial change$zGreat Britain 606 $aSocial change$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial values$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1837-1901 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yVictoria, 1837-1901 615 0$aSocial change 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aSocial values$xHistory 676 $a306.0941 700 $aGoldman$b Lawrence$f1957-$0119410 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450103303321 996 $aScience, reform, and politics in Victorian Britain$92442861 997 $aUNINA
