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, revised and updated throughout, the author 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 century. 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.
