A significant degree of social mobility was an important factor in ensuring social and political stability in 18th-century Britain. In this detailed analysis, Professor Christie examines how far the House of Commons reflected and was itself affected by such social mobility. Enquiry is directed at the growth in number of "non-elite" Members of Parliament; men without land.
