A. S. Neill was arguably the most famous child educator of the
twentieth century. He was certainly the most controversial. All
over the world, countless parents and teachers have been shocked,
delighted or inspired by his subversive ideas about education, or
by a visit to 'that dreadful school' which continues to this day -
Summerhill. First published in 1983, this sympathetic but critical
exploration of his iconoclastic ideas and personality is the result
of interviews with two hundred ex-pupils, parents and teachers
about life at Summerhill, and of the practicality of Neill's
philosophy about child freedom. Jonathan Croall has also drawn on
many unpublished letters and documents, which help to illuminate
Neill's personal struggles, and his analysis and friendship with
Homer Lane, Wilhelm Stekel and Wilhelm Reich. The result is a
fascinating and revealing portrait of a remarkable man who, in his
absolute determination to be 'on the side of the child', remained
in permanent opposition to the adult world.
