The elite and their social role is a question of central importance
in European history. This is confirmed not least by the growing
public interest in this topic. The history of Great Britain and
Germany has shown in quite different ways how the elites have faced
the challenges of the modern age. On 13 and 14 September 2002 the
21st conference of the Prince Albert Society took place, where
historical and current aspects of the history of the elite, their
survival strategies, their failures and their resistance were
considered from both British and German perspectives. "Birth or
Talent?," Volume 21 of the Prince Albert Studies documents the
contributions that were presented at this conference.
Twelve historians from Great Britain, Germany and the United
States investigate over a huge time span -- from the 16th century
to the present -- the elite in the church, military, economy,
diplomacy and in the educational sector. The strong current
interest in this topic is also evident in the panel discussion.
Starting with the historical relationships between both countries,
the growing similarity in living conditions, not only in the
economy but above all in the education system, is discussed.
