British social theory: recovering lost traditions before 1950 - United Kingdom Sage Publications 2018 - viii, 173p

Include Bibliography


A unique contribution to discussions of social theory, this book counters the argument that no social theory was ever produced in Britain before the late twentieth century. Reviewing a period of 300 years from the seventeenth century to the mid-twentieth century, it sets out a number of innovative strands in theory that culminated in powerful contributions in the classical period of sociology. The book discusses how these traditions of the theory were lost and forgotten and set out why they are important today.
