    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    This book analyses the development of Catholic schooling in Scotland over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Scholarship of this period tends to be dominated by discussions of the 1872 and 1918 Education (Scotland) Acts: while these crucial acts are certainly not neglected in this volume, the editors and contributors also examine the key figures and events that shaped Catholic education and Catholic schools in Scotland. Focusing on such diverse themes as lay female teachers and non-formal learning, this volume illuminates many under-researched and neglected aspects of Catholic schooling in Scotland. This wide-ranging edited collection will illuminate fresh historical insights that do not focus exclusively on Catholic schooling, but are also relevant to the wider Scottish educational community. It will appeal to students and scholars of Catholic schooling, schooling in Scotland, as well as Christian schooling more generally. 

    Stephen McKinney is Professor in the School of Education at the University of Glasgow, UK. His research interests include Catholic schooling and education, as well as faith schooling more widely. 

    Raymond McCluskey is a former lecturer in the School of Education at the University of Glasgow, UK. His research interests focus on the history of education, particularly within Scotland, and the history of the Catholic community in Scotland.

    ?This volume will be of great benefit to scholars in the field and the general reader alike. Given the range and scope of the chapters, there is also much interest here for students of the wider history of the Catholic Church in Scotland and beyond.? (Raymond Friel, Religious Education, September 17, 2020)

    ?The editors have done a masterful job incorporating the varied case studies in a meaningful way. ? A History of Catholic Education and Schooling in Scotland: New Perspectives is a fantastic collection of world-class research with cross-disciplinary appeal. It manages to both successfully deepen the relatively specialised field of Scottish Catholic history and to simultaneously broaden its appeal by expanding its wider relevance to scholars of education.? (Iida Saarinen, British Catholic History, Vol. 35 (1), May, 2020)

    ?This is a useful monograph for scholars, university academics, teachers and indeed anyone with a keen interest to understand Catholic education and its contribution to Scottish education ? .? (Yonah Matemba, British Journal of Religious Education, January 26, 2020)

    ?An impressive feature of all the chapters is the detailed documentation of sources used in setting out the evidence and offering interpretations. The extensive list of references at the end of each chapter will be extremely valuable to future scholars. ... the book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the history of Scottish education, with the authors demonstrating scholarship of a high order.? (Walter Humes, Scottish Educational Review, Vol. 51 (2), 2019)

    ?A vital read for anyone currently involved in Catholic education. This is a collection of well researched and thought provoking essays which should be of interestto anyone working in the sector, and will hopefully inspire further research. They highlight the strengths and achievements of Catholic education against the backdrop of an initially hostile host society.? (Gemma Lamarra, Open House, Issue 284, October - November, 2019)
