  • Maybe they haven't decided yet what is right: English and Spanish perspectives on teaching historical significance

      Teaching History article
    Historians and history teachers understand well that students, when they ‘answer’ questions, are creating their own interpretation. We take account of this in our teaching too: we do not pretend that, beyond the level of the simplest closed questioning, there is ever a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer approach to history....

  • Elementary Education in the Nineteenth Century

      Classic Pamphlet
    All schemes for education involve some consideration of the surrounding society, its existing structure and how it will-and should-develop.

  • Radicalism and its Results, 1760-1837

      Classic Pamphlet
    Radicalism with a large "R", unlike Conservatism with a large "C" and Liberalism with a large "L", is not a historical term of even proximate precision. There was never a Radical Party with a national organization, local associations, or a treasury. But there were, and there are, "Radicals", generally qualified...

  • The Investiture Disputes

      Classic Pamphlet
    Historical labels are dictated by a wayward fashion; and the name which is still most commonly associated with the first struggle of Empire and Papacy (1076-1122).

  • The English Domestic Servant in English History

      Classic Pamphlet
