Brotherhood of Barristers : A Cultural History of the British Legal Profession, 1840–1940

Omtale

Brotherhood of Barristers critically investigates masculinity, the creation of the gentlemanly professional, and the exclusionary culture of the British legal profession. It examines the cultural history of the four Inns of Court between 1840–1940, exploring how these societies maintained their insularity in the face of sweeping social change.
