This book explores the innovative, sociological approach adopted by
Harriet Martineau in her efforts to develop a ‘scientific’
approach to understanding social and societal change. With
attention to her focus on the key social structures and societal
issues of her day – the economy, education, the condition of
women and the evils of slavery – the authors highlight her
creation and application of what we now recognise as sociological
methodology, fieldwork, and analysis. Through an examination in
each chapter of the writings that best illustrate Martineau’s
sociological perspective, Reintroducing Harriet Martineau discusses
her enduring contribution to sociology. As such, it will appeal to
scholars and students of sociology with interests in the history of
the discipline, and questions of methodology.
