About This Item

Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000.. 1st edition. "Avoidiing polemic or apologia, this new history of Harrow...the first to be based on unfettered access to the school and governors' archives, investigates the school's governors, masters, pupils, finances, social position, and curriculum, within the context of shifting political, cultural, and educational circumstances. It is a contribution to the social history of Britain as well as a critical study of a famous school. Unusually for school histories, this book, supported by a full academic apparatus of source references, frankly confronts the school's failings as well as its successes; its financial, educational, and sexual scandals as openly as its well-publicized eminence as the school of Byron, Churchill (and six other British prime ministers), and Nehru." Pp.xx/599, 22 black & white plates + 5 maps. Black cloth, dustwrapper has a removable clear protective wrap. VG/VG.
