The author discusses early British commentaries on Einstein's special theory of relativity. Taking Cambridge University as an example, it is demonstrated that physicists who belonged to different schools of institutionalized physics, attributed a wide range of different meanings to Einstein's work. This thesis is illustrated with reference to the work of the Cambridge mathematical physicist Ebenezer Cunningham. [For part II, see the review below].
