Review:
This is a work indispensable for a discussion of the reflection of the process of industrialization in European Realism as well as the question of education. A superb social commentary on the times. --Sven H. Rossel, University of Washington
Nicely printed, but inexpensive, clear edition... what I'm looking for. --Dr. Dolores Luhr, La Salle University
