A generation has passed since the appearance of Oliver
MacDonagh??'s article ???The Nineteenth-century Revolution in
Government: A Reappraisal??? (Historical Journal, 1958), which gave
enormous impetus to the study of the ???silent revolution??? that
had overtaken Whitehall and Westminster between 1830 and 1914.
Following MacDonagh, scholars have turned with fresh eyes to old
sources - departmental archives, bill payers and private memoirs -
to explore the ways and means by which the changes he described had
occurred. This book offers selected perspectives on an important
facet of new research into the administrative revolution: the idea
of ???expertise???, the role of ???experts??? and of administrators
and professionals in creating the technique of Victorian
government. It also pays tribute to MacDonagh??'s seminal insight,
in offering an indication of work in progress along a research
front which now incorporates disciplines beyond administrative
history in an international setting.
