Film: Still the Right Stuff

New Foreword by the Author

In this partner to Education and the State, West again focuses on England’s Education Act of 1870 to understand clearly what has led to the present state of affairs. Refuting Industrial Era “statistical” compilations, challenging Charles Dickens’s representation of schools of the era, and explaining the old “dame school” tradition, West expands the reader’s historical view of Anglo-American education.
