This book examines school acts in the long nineteenth century,
traditionally considered as milestones or landmarks in the process
of achieving universal education. Guided by a strong interest in
social, cultural, and economic history, the case studies featured
in the book rethink the actual value, the impact, and the
ostensible purpose of school acts. The thirteen national case
studies focus on the manner in which school acts were embedded in
their particular historical contexts, offering a comprehensive and
multidisciplinary overview of school acts and the role they played
in the rise of mass schooling. Drawing together research from
countries across the West, the editors and contributors analyse why
these acts were passed, as well as their content and impact. This
seminal collection will appeal to students and scholars of school
acts and the history of mass schooling. Chapter 9 of this book is
