Contemporary public life in Britain would be unthinkable without
the use of statistics and statistical reasoning. Numbers dominate
political discussion, facilitating debate while also attracting
criticism on the grounds of their veracity and utility. However,
the historical role and place of statistics within Britain 's
public sphere has yet to receive the attention it deserves. There
exist numerous histories of both modern statistical reasoning and
the modern public sphere; but to date, there are no works which,
quite pointedly, aim to analyse the historical entanglement of the
two. Statistics and the Public Sphere: Numbers and the People in
Modern Britain, c.1800-2000 directly addresses this neglected area
of historiography, and in so doing places the present in some much
needed historical perspective.
