Education 1810–1899


The notions of class and gender are indispensable to any understanding of schooling in nineteenth-century England. While the differences between them are important, so too is the pattern of their interrelationship. Equally, they need to be set within the context not only of tradition and continuity but also of change. In this way it becomes possible to appreciate the emerging differences within as well as between sectors of schooling.
