The Lectures to Women given by Alfred Marshall at Cambridge in
1873, which focus on the effects of working conditions on man's
character and prospects, are unique in their content and purpose.
They offer insight into a radical period in Marshall's life of
which relatively little is known.This new critical edition makes
the Lectures, which have sometimes been referred to by Marshallian
scholars, available to a wider body of historians of economic
thought. Based on Mary Paley Marshall's original notes, corrected
by Marshall himself, the Lectures are supplemented by Marshall's
lecture outlines. Some contemporary and related texts are also
published here including a paper on the future of the working
classes from the same year and Marshall's exchange of articles with
the trade unionist John Holmes in 1874 known as the Bee-Hive
debate. A contextualised commentary on the lectures is provided by
Rita McWilliams Tullberg, Ernesto Biagini and Tiziano Raffaelli who
adopt three lines of enquiry respectively: the lectures as part of
the movement for higher education for women in the Victorian era,
the lectures as indicative of Marshall's stand vis-a-vis the
political-ideological framework of the time and the lectures as an
indicator of Marshall's methodological tendencies concerning the
study of social phenomena.
