Public School And The Private Vision

Originally published in 1965, this book by Maxine Greene is widely recognized as one of the classic works in progressive education. In it, she traces the complex interplay of literature and public education from the 1830s to the 1960s - and now, in a new preface, to the present. This edition launches a new series of classics in progressive education edited and introduced by National Book Award winner Herbert Kohl. Greene is a household name in education circles and this update of her work will introduce her to a whole new generation.
