This history focuses on Yorkshire, but should facilitate the understanding of all of England's educational history and invite future comparative studies. Roach (education, U. of Sheffield, UK) studies the individual histories of schools in the region, puts education during the 300-year span into its local context, and posits that while various districts of England responded both to educational ideas that spread throughout the country and to decisions that originated in parliament, some of the best ideas started in the provinces themselves.
