| Kurzbeschreibung
Knowledge and Power reveals how university representation - viewed by its opponents as an inequitable constitutional relic and by it supporters as a means of leavening politics with learning - played an illuminating if often paradoxical role in Britain's and the Empire's political modernization. Topics explored include the role of university constituencies in the political system, and how it was widely debated in relation to a host of fundamental constitutional concerns, including the bases of representation, the extent of political inclusion, religious pluralism, and women's suffrage.
