Education and the Scottish people, 1750-1918 : 1750-1918

Scotland's traditions of democratic mobility, together with its early lead in literacy, make its educational systems of great interest to historians. Professor Anderson examines the distinctive characteristics of Scottish education and places them into a broader framework of social, political, and intellectual history. This authoritative, up-to-date study - the first such study to appear for over 27 years - will become the standard work of reference for historians working in this field.
