• Sommario/riassunto: This book examines the role of periodicals in shaping the discourse around elementary education in England between 1833 and 1880. It highlights the unique cultural space created by periodicals for discussions on educational practices, exploring how political, social, and religious developments influenced debates. The work delves into the contributions of both renowned and lesser-known writers who used periodicals to question educational norms and promote reform.
