Further, this study widens the scope of our definition of education to include the often-under-valued field of \"accomplishments\". Indeed, Cohen shows that accomplishments were a formal part of male and female education, with carefully theorised pedagogies, challenging the enduring perception that these subjects were superficial. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSubject specific chapters on Latin and geography pedagogies examine the relations between these subjects and the competitions which shaped and produced them. While Latin pedagogy dominated eighteenth-century education, geography, as a modern subject, had to develop a new normative pedagogy. Cohen shows that girls were not excluded from learning a science like geography, and that the contemporary perception of the inferiority of their education as opposed to that of boys was constructed as part of the classic vs. modern debate. Further, chapters on debates surrounding public and private education, the Grand Tour, and conversation show that pedagogy is the thread linking education, gender, social class and politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will be essential reading for historians of education, childhood and gender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mich鑞e Cohen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1837650691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837650699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Mich鑞e Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44181228912895,"sku":"9781837650699","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a4183a6-b41c-4260-beaa-1471971a16c7.jpg?v=1690259278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/changing-pedagogies-for-children-in-michle-cohen-9781837650699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
