Reviews
“Wright presents a meticulously researched series of case-study snapshots into secular approaches to religious and moral education from 1897 until the 1944 Education Act … . Wright’s book thus significantly extends our understanding of how secularism was implicated in the teaching of morality and citizenship before 1944. It is therefore an important addition to the understudied history of religious education.” (Jody Crutchley, History of Education, October 14, 2019)
