“…14 Many of our authors do not provide comparative data, but Bechhofer (1996, p. 587) remarks that the four British journals on which he had data differed 'a great deal' -so his results would clearly have been different if he had used only the BJS; Williams, Hodgkinson, and Payne (2004) found that Work, Employment and Society (WES) for 1999-2000 had considerably more quantitative papers than did the four British more general journals; for 2008 report marked differences among the British journals in their proportion of qualitative empirical articles. The pattern of British journal difference for an earlier period is shown by Collison and Webber (1971), who found that Sociology had more authors per article, They are commonly used and peer reviewed, so give 'a picture of what could be considered to be research endorsed by the discipline' (MacInnes et al, in press) (Are the referees and editors a representative sample of the discipline, then?) 'Given both the high "intensity" and "extensity" of each journal's prestige, we hoped that an accurate portrayal of the major theoretical and methodological orientations existent within sociology would be forthcoming'.…”

“…Strikingly absent, at least in comparison with the article production of British sociologists (cf. Collison and Webber, 1971), is a category for stratification; it is less surprising not to have gender, despite the inclusion of what became regarded as some classic founding works of feminism -the time for that was a little later. Also hardly present is the Lazarsfeld/survey style of work so prominent in America at the time, though this would not fit into any single category of the kind used.…”

Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication DataThe Palgrave handbook of sociology in Britain / edited by John Holmwood, John Scott. pages cm Summary: "British sociology has been central to the evolution of the field, playing a key role in the establishment of the discipline internationally and in the professionalization of the subject within the academy. This Handbook, drawing together leading specialists from across the subject, provides a comprehensive history of the discipline within Britain and demonstrates the continuing influence of British sociological thinking globally. Addressing key moments in the development of sociology, this Handbook examines its 18th century origins in Scottish thought, 19th century evolutionism, the impact of the end of empire in the 20th century, the role of exiles, the rise of feminism and the implications of the most recent Government policies toward universities. The volume examines the institutionalization of sociology through the creation of departments, the development of research methods, the writing of textbooks and the creation and influence of the book series, the International Library of Sociology. Further, individual chapters discuss key topics of sociological study in Britain such as class, race and ethnicity, religion, the sociology of the body, cultural studies, and criminology, and its relation to other fields of research such as poverty, social work and the humanities. Challenging received ideas about the discipline and recovering lost histories this one-stop overview is an essential reference guide to the growth of sociology and the sociological imagination."-Provided by publisher.
