'Gifted Children' in Britain and the World

Elitism and Equality Since 1945

Beschreibung

The idea that a child is intellectually 'gifted' has a social and cultural history. 'Gifted Children' in Britain and the World analyses that social history at multiple scales, and makes the 'voices' of the 'gifted' young themselves central through examination of their poetry, letters, and life--writing.
