In recent years the study of the history of education has
flourished and expanded. It has moved from being a specialist
interest to one which concerns economic and social historians, who
see that education has played a central part in the discussion of
industrial development and the formation of the social structure.
In this study, Dr Sanderson reviews the history of education in the
19th century and the academic debate surrounding it. He examines
the discussion surrounding literacy, its trends and significance in
the creation of an industrial labour force. He also considers the
successful development of a middle-class scientific culture in the
18th century and the relative failure to develop technical
education in the 19th. This period was marked by the development of
the Victorian public school and by reforms in the universities. It
also saw the involvement in education by radical working class and
feminist groups, who were struggling for recognition.
