This history charts how geography rose to popularity on a tide of
imperial enthusiasms in Victorian time and made its way into many
elementary schools in the latter half of the 19th century. Many
geography lessons were not dominated by the rote-learning of "capes
and bays" and some of the pioneers of the subject led the way in
the use of models, visual aids and "object lessons" in schools. The
book explores Scott Keltie's report of 1886 as a catalyst for
development. Despite the founding of the Geographical Association
in 1893, the subject needed a series of concerted political
campaigns in the early 20th centry to establish itself in the
secondary sector. The growth of the regional approach, field-work
and of sample studies expanded the subject between the world wars,
before a major conceptual revolution invigorated and challenged
teachers of the subject in the post-war period.
