dc.description.abstractCultural interpretations of nineteenth-century schooling, it is argued in this study, provide a more sophisticated analysis of historical evidence than the whig or even sociological interpretations of the distant and more recent past. Using the wealth of historical evidence concerning Pictou Academy, the six chapters guide the reader into this new form of understanding. The thesis argues that this cultural approach to the discipline of history will lead to a clearer understanding of the power of professional rhetoric to order social policy, to discipline society, and to impose professional values within institutional forms, in short, a more complex understanding of the relationship of schooling to power.en
