Summary

This collection of essays by a distinguished group of historians and educationists provides a tribute to and extension of the work of Peter Gordon, Emeritus Professor of Education at the Institute of Education, University of London, and founding editor of the Woburn Education Series. Either as colleagues or as authors, the editor and ten contributors to this volume have all been directly associated with Professor Gordon. Their essays are grouped around the central theme of Peter Gordon's many publications - the educational history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - but they also reflect the breadth of his interests and depth of his scholarship within that field.
