This book is a study of the relationships between social thought,
social policy and politics in Victorian Britain. Goldman focuses on
the activity of the National Association for the Promotion of
Social Science, known as the Social Science Association. For three
decades this served as a forum for the discussion of Victorian
social questions and as an influential adviser to governments, and
its history discloses how social policy was made in these years.
The Association, which attracted many powerful contributors,
including politicians, civil servants, intellectuals and reformers,
had influence over policy and legislation on matters as diverse as
public health and women's legal and social emancipation. The SSA
reveals the complex roots of social science and sociology buried in
the non-academic milieu of nineteenth-century reform. And its
influence in the United States and Europe allows for a comparative
approach to political and intellectual development in this period.
