Dina Copelman's investigation of the public and private lives of women teachers reveals a strikingly different model of gender and class identity than the orthodox one constructed by historians of middle-class gender roles and middle-class feminism. Consequently, while the book focuses on women teachers from the beginning of state education in 1870 up to 1930, it is also an examination of how gender, class and professional identities were shaped and perceived. While offering a significant original contribution to the social history of teachers, this book is also driven by a consideration of broader historiographical questions.
Drawing on hitherto-unused sources this book represents a shift in the historiography of British education. At the centre of the investigation is Joseph Payne. He was one of the group of pioneers who founded the College of Preceptors in 1846 and in 1873 he was appointed to the first professorship of education in Britain, established by the College of Preceptors. By that date Payne had acquired a considerable reputation. He was a classroom practitioner of rare skill, the founder of two of the most successful Victorian private schools, the author of best-selling text-books, a scholar of note despite his lack of formal education, and a leading member of the College of Preceptors and such bodies as the Scholastic Registration Association, the Girls’ Public Day School Trust, the Women’s Education Union and the Social Science Association.

Le mot « beat » est employé pour désigner une nouvelle façon de jouer du rock'n'roll au Royaume-Uni, approximativement sur la période entre 1963 et 1967. Cette appellation désigne à la fois des groupes qui revendiquent une forte influence rhythm'n'blues et d'autres qui privilégient les mélodies et les harmonies vocales. Le garage rock est un genre de rock agressif qui émerge aux États-Unis et au Canada au milieu des 60's. Bien qu'associé au rock psychédélique, alors que le mouvement freakbeat prend également de l'ampleur, il se caractérise par des paroles acérées et vulgaires accompagnées de guitares aux sonorités distordues. Parallèlement au garage rock américain, le ...
