London: John Murray, 1930 A collection of addresses and reprinted articles, compiled and edited by Elsie M. Lang. Dame Henrietta Barnett, DBE (1851-1936) was a notable English social reformer. Married to Samuel Augustus Barnett, she helped found the first 'University Settlement' at Toynbee Hall (east London) in 1884. Born Henrietta Octavia Rowland, she worked with Octavia Hill who was instrumental in introducing her to the curate of St Mary's, Bryanston Square, London. She subsequently married Samuel Barnett in 1873 and later that year the Barnetts moved to the impoverished Whitechapel parish of St Jude's intent on improving social conditions. A strong believer in the power of education to effect social change, she helped establish the Children's Country Holiday Fund (1884) and annual loan exhibitions of fine art at the Whitechapel gallery. The current Whitechapel Art Gallery was built in 1897 at the behest of the Barnetts, in the Arts and Crafts style. She was also strongly associated with the Hampstead area of north-west London, conceiving the idea of the model housing development of Hampstead Garden Suburb in 1904 (working with architects Raymond Unwin and Sir Edwin Lutyens) and helping protect part of Hampstead Heath from development by Eton College. Ironically, given that this was intended to provide affordable housing, this area contains some of the most expensive real-estate per unit area in London. She lived at Heath End House in Spaniards Road, Hampstead (today marked by a blue plaque) until her death in 1936, aged 85, 12 years after her knighthood was bestowed. Barnett also founded the Henrietta Barnett School in Hampstead Garden Suburb in 1911. An important book in the history of education, poverty and social reform printed for private circulation only..

New York: Atherton Books, 1966 John Dewey (1859-1952) has made, arguably, the most significant contribution to the development of educational thinking in the twentieth century. Dewey's philosophical pragmatism, concern with interaction, reflection and experience, and interest in community and democracy, were brought together to form a highly suggestive educative form. John Dewey is often misrepresented - and wrongly associated with child-centred education. In many respects his work cannot be easily slotted into any one of the curriculum traditions that have dominated north American and UK schooling traditions over the last century. However, John Dewey's influence can be seen in many of the writers that have influenced the development of informal education over the same period. For example, Coyle, Kolb, Lindeman and Rogers drew extensively on his work. John Dewey's significance for informal educators lays in a number of areas. First, his belief that education must engage with and enlarge experience has continued to be a significant strand in informal education practice. Second, and linked to this, Dewey's exploration of thinking and reflection - and the associated role of educators - has continued to be an inspiration. We can see it at work, for example, in the models developed by writers such as David Boud and Donald Schön. Third, his concern with interaction and environments for learning provide a continuing framework for practice. Last, his passion for democracy, for educating so that all may share in a common life, provides a strong rationale for practice in the associational settings in which informal educators work.

London: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1999. Theoretically informed new feminist criticism of children's literature and culture. Like feminism itself, it is a coat of many colors. Although our focus is on children's literature and culture in the English-speaking world, contributors come from around the globe. Experts in American studies, cultural studies, history, and photography variously illuminate films, dinosaurs, comic strips, and boys' toys, and their exciting approaches to cultural texts suggest new approaches to literary texts as well. From literature to film and back again, from schoolgirls to mill girls to Riot Grrrls, from devils to dinosaurs to Disney--the essays gathered here illuminate the vibrant intersection between children's literature and feminist criticism and spark new questions for scholarship." Once considered a time of innocence and mirth, childhood now seems to be a battleground involving everything that adults fight about: values and religion, types and stereotypes, family and society, work and play. Children's play and children's literature have been subjected to philosophic scrutiny, political quarrel, economic analysis, historical description, literary theorizing, and polemics of all kinds. In Girls, Boys, Books, Toys, Beverly Lyon Clark and Margaret R. Higonnet bring together twenty-two scholars to look closely at the complexities of children's culture. Chapters focus on a variety of issues, many of which are hotly disputed--from what it means to be a child to the pace by which a childhood is left behind. Girls, Boys, Books, Toys asks questions about how the gender symbolism of children's culture is constructed and resisted. What happens when women rewrite (or illustrate) nursery rhymes, adventure stories, and fairy tales told by men? How do the socially scripted plots for boys and girls change through time and across cultures? Have critics been blind to what women write about "masculine" topics? Can animal tales or doll stories displace tired commonplaces about gender, race, and class? Can different critical approaches--new historicism, narratology, or postcolonialism enable us to gain leverage on the different implications of gender, age, race, and class in our readings of children's books and children's culture? Today, as parents work longer hours and the traditional family structure becomes fragmented, it is more important than ever to understand children's culture. But until now, no collection of criticism has focused on gender in the broad range of children's literature or embraced both children's literature and material culture. "Girls, Boys, Books, Toys is an indispensible text for anyone engaged with the cultural and postfeminist analysis of literature. It is also an effectively developed meditation on a postfeminist hermeneutic, and a full-bodied, big-hearted and brazen insistence upon the genius of children's literature." Michael Joseph, Rutgers University "This book is extremely valuable to newcomers to the fields of children's literature and cultural studies, and no scholar of children's literature will want to be without it." Elizabeth Keyser, Hollins University, editor of Children's Literature. Slight crease to top corner.. First Paperback Edition. Paperback. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Bath: Cedric Chivers, 1966 Sir Fred Clarke states in Freedom in the Educative Society that while the popular educational theory in England is that of ‘development,’ the popular practice is that of an imposed code. Following Martin Buber, he redefines education as the creative conquest of freedom through tension and responsibility. Freedom is the goal and discipline is the strategy. This does not mean imposing from above or converting persons into instruments but the recognition that education is releasing of instinct plus encounter. Educational discipline, Clarke says, is just that selection of the effective world by the teacher which Buber has outlined. The teacher concentrates and presents in himself a construct of the world, and this must be understood as a practical artistic activity, not as a technique. The teacher is disinterested, yet he is very much a self, for he is a living embodiment of a world rather than an abstract social code or system of morality. Sir Fred Clarke (1880-1952) was Director of the Institute of Education from 1936 until his retirement in 1945. His professional career was very wide-ranging, including periods of teaching at universities in Canada and South Africa. He also undertook numerous advisory and committee roles with, for example the National Union of Teachers, the British Council and the National Foundation for Educational Research.
