A Cultural History of Education in the Age of Enlightenment presents essays that examine the following key themes of the period: church, religion and morality; knowledge, media and communications; children and childhood; family, community and sociability; learners and learning; teachers and teaching; literacies; and life histories.

The Age of Enlightenment is characterized by a growing belief in the human capacity to change the world. This volume shows how the educational endeavors of the period contributed in their diversity to a thoroughly educationalized culture around 1800, the very foundation of the modern nation state, which then developed into the long 19th century.

An essential resource for researchers, scholars, and students in history, literature, culture, and education.

Daniel Tröhler is Professor of the Foundations of Education at the University of Vienna, Austria, and Visiting Professor at the University of Oslo, Norway.
