Produktbeschreibung

Posing a challenge to more traditional approaches to the history of education, this interdisciplinary collection examines the complex web of beliefs and methods by which culture was transmitted to young people in eighteenth-century Britain. Contributors cast a wide net to uncover the rich variety of educational activities, the multitude of cultural and social contexts in which young people were educated, and the extent of the differences between principle and practice throughout the period.
