International Impact on 19th Century Norwegian Education : Development, Influence and National Identity, Hardback Book

International Impact on 19th Century Norwegian Education : Development, Influence and National Identity Hardback

Hardback

Description

This book examines Norwegian education throughout the course of the 19th century, and discusses its development in light of broader transnational impulses.

The nineteenth century is regarded as a period of increasing national consciousness in Norway, pointing forward to the political independency that the country was granted in 1905.

Education played an important role in this process of nationalisation: the author posits that transnational – for the most part Scandinavian – impulses were more decisive for the development of Norwegian education than has been acknowledged in previous research.

Drawing on the work of educator and school bureaucrat Hartvig Nissen, who is recognised as the most important educational strategist in 19th century Norway, this book will be of interest to scholars of the history of education and Norwegian education more generally.
