education who were working in the United Kingdom in the period 1890
to 1950. Focusing on music, drama, and visual arts and crafts, the

they drew on perspectives that emphasised the need for children's
self-expression. The chapters offer an analysis of the pioneers'

positions about identity, nation, and what constituted 'good
taste'. The book further examines how their ideas were
disseminated, in so doing interrogating the concept of 'influence'
in educational theory and practice.
