Levitan, Kathrin: A Cultural History of the British Census: Envisioning the Multitude in the Nineteenth Century. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011. [Verlagsinfo]
Laut Rezensent Rohan McWilliam eine important new study mit original approach, and the result will need to be engaged with by all historians working on modern Britain.; nach ihm vertritt die Autorin a soft Foucauldian thesis that the census offered forms of classification, which proved useful for the state in identifying and controlling the poor, in particular.
