About the Book

This book presents a new cultural history of the making and shaping of the good teacher in Victorian England, describing the ways that teachers came to be socially constructed and governed through reforms such as teacher training, inspections, and examination, which were all established and refined during the Victorian era. Situated within an international and comparative context of educational reforms that were taking place in North America and Europe, this history of the Victorian teacher shows how the patterns and practices that took place in England also had a broader, more global history. Full of contemporary significance when now, teachers are confronting accountability-based demands on their work, this is a compelling account of the historical origins of how teachers and teaching came to be regulated through a set of educational reforms that still continue to influence and shape the profession today.
