Pure mathematics in Britain at the start of the nineteenth century was mainly a recreation for amateurs. Using primary sources, this engaging account describes how, by the start of World War I, it had become an academic discipline of repute led by G. H. Hardy and supported by the internationally-respected London Mathematical Society.
