J. A. 4aThe Amateur and the Professional  bCambridge University Pressc2003  a240 pages  aThis book highlights the growing divide in nineteenth-century intellectual circles between amateur and professional interest, and explores the institutional means whereby professional ascendancy was achieved in the broad field of studies of the past. It is concerned with how antiquarian 'gentlemen of leisure', pursuing their interests through local archaeological societies, were, by the end of the century, relegated to the sidelines of the now university-based discipline of history. At the same time it explores the theological as well as technical barriers which arrested the development of archaeology in this period. This is a notable contribution to the intellectual history of Victorian England, attending not simply to the ideas perpetrated by these communities of scholarship but to their social status, relating such social consideration to a more traditional intellectual history to create a new social history of ideas.  aBusiness & Economics  cENGLISH  c576296d576296  00104070aACLbACLc7Bd2025-07-18l0o941.081 LEVp237011r2025-07-18 14:21:44w2025-07-18yENGLISH
