Smith: Psychology of Education II (4-vol. set) This new title in Routledge’s Major Themes in Education series is a four-volume collection of major works of scholarship. It is an essential successor to an earlier Routledge anthology Psychology of Education (978-0-415-19302-3) (2000) edited by Peter K. Smith and Anthony D. Pellegrini. Research in and around psychology and education has experienced dramatic growth in recent years. Psychology of Education (2000) was the first comprehensive collection of the field’s canonical and cutting-edge research and this new collection takes full account of the many important developments that have taken place since its appearance. Psychology of Education II also includes coverage of areas without the scope of the first collection. With a full index together with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context Psychology of Education II is an indispensable work of reference. | Smith: Psychology of Education II (4-vol. set) GBP 625.00 1
Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II The years 1890-1945 saw an unprecedented outpouring of fiction focused on British university life much of it reflecting the drastic change that had swept through the higher education system in the late nineteenth century. Among these narratives a significant subgroup focused on the lives of women students newly admitted to the structures of higher education system their presence still stridently and sometimes even violently opposed especially at Oxbridge. These novels and short stories collected here largely unknown today were widely discussed and debated in the public sphere during the early twentieth century contributing not only to the formation of public knowledge and opinion about education through cultural figures like the ‘Girton Girl’ or the ‘undergraduette ’ but also sparking debate about many wider social and cultural issues from the place of the women writer in the literary scene to the emergence of new discourses around psychology and the body. The majority have not been reprinted since their original publication and until now have been rarely available to scholars. The publication of Women’s University Narratives 1890-1945 therefore provides a major new resource for scholarship in many areas including women’s studies educational history and literary and cultural modernism. | Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II GBP 475.00 1
