This book's focus is on English secondary schooling in the late 19th and 20th Centuries, during which the definition of a general secondary education was itself negotiated and consolidated before the development of secondary modern and then comprehensive schools. \n\nIn each chapter, a specialist contributor considers the changing ideology, shape and status of one of the seven traditional academic subjects, namely Classics, Modern Languages, English, History, Geography, Mathematics and Science. These seven school subjects have dominated the academic school curriculum since the nineteenth century and continue to exert a powerful influence upon the contemporary school curriculum today despite the emergence of various rivals and the growing status.
