Description

This interdisciplinary collection challenges traditional approaches to education history by examining the complex beliefs and methods through which culture was transmitted to young people during the long eighteenth century. By expanding the definition of education beyond conventional pedagogical texts, the work reveals assumptions that rest on shaky historical ground. The study of girls' home education through women's diaries and letters demonstrates that domestic settings provided far more rigorous intellectual training than previously recognised. Part of the Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present series, this Routledge publication offers fresh perspectives on how education functioned across different social contexts and practices in Enlightenment Britain, making it essential reading for historians, education scholars, and those interested in childhood studies.
