Recensione

"McClelland has provided a valuable survey of national organizations and periods of professional development which will provide a framework for more detailed future research, and which usefully links the history of professional groups to the history of state and society." Canadian Journal of History

"Unrelenting concentration on the lessons of empirical analysis for professionalization theory, which make possible conclusions such as this, surely constitute the great strength of McClelland's book....considerable achievement in the field of professionalization theory." Kees Gispen, Journal of Social History

"...historians interested in the professions will find much that is valuable in this book. McClelland's international comparisons are particularly commendable" Isis

"...a very useful survey of an increasingly important field of study." Geoffrey Cocks, American Historical Review

"...pioneering work....If McClelland's book will serve to draw historians of education into the comparative study of the professions, their education, and their work, it will have served far beyond being an informative and enlightening contribution to our understanding of its subject matter." Jurgen Herbst, History of Education Quarterly

"Logically organized and clearly written, the book provides a comparative view of German professionalization. In discussing this process, McClelland examines in detail various professionalization theories and their validity for German developments. The result is an excellent single-volume introduction to the professions in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Germany....With its comparative description of the major professions and thorough discussion of professionalization issues, The German Experience of Professionalization is a highly accessible history of modern German academic occupations. It will be an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in these occupations and the German middle classes." Vincent A. Clark, German Studies Review

Descrizione del libro

This work is the first to explore the historical experience of the learned professions in Germany from the time when they arose until the eve of World War II. It gives a more contoured picture of their fate under National Socialism than works dedicated primarily to the phenomenon of fascism itself.
