Over forty years after it first appeared, T.H. Marshall's seminal
essay on citizenship and social class in post-war Britain has
acquired the status of a classic. His lucid analysis of the
principal elements of citizenship - namely, the possession of
civil, political and social rights - is as relevant today as it was
when it first appeared. It is reissued here with a new and
complementary monograph by Tom Bottomore in which the meaning of
citizenship is re-examined, in very different historical
circumstances. In asking how far the prospects for class equality
have been realised, Bottomore continues the discussion in a context
that encompasses the restoration of civil and political rights in
Eastern Europe, problems of welfare capitalism, citizenship and the
nation state and the broader issues of equality and democratic
institutions.
In Methods of Social Study Sidney and Beatrice Webb describe in
detail how they conducted their investigations into social history
and institutions - from the collection, recording and
classification of the data (both documentary and oral), through the
processes of hypothesis and analysis, down to the preparation of
the final report. The Webbs were in many respects pioneers, and
what they achieved and the way in which they achieved it are of an
importance that has been increasingly recognised as the passage of
times gives us perspective. Their constant concern was to ensure
that their work would be 'scientific'. They stress the need in
scientific research for complete objectivity, to be achieved in
their case by keeping their historical and sociological studies
wholly separate from their political writings. Because the first
drafts for the book were made by Beatrice in 1921 and the final
text was written by Sidney in 1931/2, one can also see expressed
here, more clearly than elsewhere, the different temperaments of
the two collaborators.
