Abstract: This article looks at the development of the professions and professionalism within a broad historical sweep. Concentrating on the Anglo-American experience, it takes as its stage the whole of the twentieth century and its dramatis personae as key groups associated with the rise of the professions. It asks what relationships might be discerned between the professions and each of the following: managers, owners, and aristocracy. It also addresses the question of whether the dynamic and content of such relationships changed over the century, and if so why? It is concluded that these quadrilateral relationships might be thought to represent a "quadrille" that transforms significantly, but not unrecognizably, over time.
