- This wide-ranging essay collection for the first time evaluates Martineau’s mastery of multiple disciplines, and the nature of her intellectual legacy to modern scholarship, given her reputation as a populariser rather than an original thinker. Concluding that she fared best in newly-emergent fields, such as sociology and journalism, we maximised diversity of views by drawing on the expertise of an international team of Martineau scholars, from the USA to Japan and Australia, many known to us from conference papers in the UK. Sanders and Weiner (an educational sociologist) co-authored the introduction and conclusion (50% each) and each contributed a chapter.
