| Summary: | "This new study analyses the development of the professions centering here on churchmen, lawyers, physicians, and teachers. The increasing professionalisation of England (and the other powerful nations of western Europe) was a major factor in the development of a recognisably modern world, socially, politically and economically. Rosemary O'Day also offers a comparative perspective looking at the experience of Scotland and Ireland and also Colonial Virginia. Synthesising recent scholarship and advancing new interpretations this is an important contribution to the historiography."--Jacket. |
