First published in 1987, The Professions in Early Modern England highlights the significant role of professional and quasi-professional occupations in English society before the industrial revolution, contrary to what was once historiographical and sociological orthodoxy.

This chapter deals with the relationship between demographic and socio-economic trends, and particularly with the impact of "social traditions" on that relationship. The starting point of this analysis is the observation that long-term trends regarding marital age in England and Central Europe stood diametrically opposed to each other: The end of the Industrial Revolution marked a period when the marital age was at its lowest in England, while in Central Europe, the marital age was higher than ever before and after. Furthermore, mid-nineteenth-century English marriage patterns were largely homogeneous in geographical and occupational terms, while in Central Europe, there were major disparities between regions and occupational groups. I argue that these differences are based on distinct traditions of wage labour. Wage labour had become almost universal in England at the eve of the Industrial Revolution, and it had also become self-evident that workers across all occupations should marry and start a family. By contrast, life-long wage labour had remained a marginal experience in Central Europe; most wage labour was performed by young and unmarried men and women as part of a single and distinct phase in the life course. The bearers of this tradition were peasants and artisans in the crafts and trades who expanded their economic role during the era of industrialisation and urbanisation in the nineteenth century. This analysis is embedded in a broader discussion about the benefits and problems of comparative research and the role social traditions play in navigating fundamental structural change.

AbstractInstitutionalized homophobia in England has been intensified over the last decade, linked to concerns about "permissiveness" so prominent within the lower middle classes so courted by the modern Conservative party. However, anti-gay norms have long been embedded in working-class and middle-class cultures, more than in continental European and North American societies. Moralistic crusades against homosexuality have been common in England, and are still reinforced by the police, the courts and especially the tabloid press. Opposition has been roused within Labour party and Liberal/Liberal Democratic circles, but often reluctantly, and framed by a limited form of tolerance.

Die Gerüchteküche hatte bereits seit März gebrodelt. Jetzt hat es im Nationalen Programm für IT (NPfIT) im englischen Gesundheitswesen richtig gekracht.
