In this comprehensive study of the Modern School movement, Paul
Avrich narrates its history, analyzes its successes and failures,
and assesses its place in American life. In doing so, he shows how
the radical experimentation in art and communal living as well as
in education during this period set the precedent for much of the
artistic, social, and educational ferment of the 1960's and I970's.
Originally published in 1980. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
