It examines both class and status, and sets out an innovative framework for understanding social status ? an important but often ignored and misunderstood dimension of social stratification. It is shown that a system of peerages, knighthoods, and other state-based royal honours emerged from feudal patterns of political rule and became an unplanned framework of social integration in the UK that has, since the nineteenth century, decayed and been challenged by alternative criteria of status. The book explores the class basis of the rise and decay of royal honours and includes a review of contemporary attempts to reconstruct and renew a system of social honour that reflects contemporary relations of power and class in Britain. It will be of interest to scholars and students of class, social inequality and British social structure. 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aCulture 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocial Structure 606 $aSociology of Culture 606 $aSociological Theory 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aSociology. 615 14$aSocial Structure. 615 24$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aSociological Theory. 676 $a305.50941 700 $aScott$b John$f1632-1704,$01770441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910842292203321 996 $aClass and Social Honour$94251362 997 $aUNINA
