Considering both literary and cultural spheres, this thoughtful survey examines the writings and life of William Hazlitt, a 19th-century essayist and critic. Often considered a thorn in the side of the establishment, this volume investigates Hazlitt's opposition to slavery and war and his defense of civil liberties as well as his private life, including his friendships with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. Through his theories and commentaries, this study also reveals his continuing historical and social significance in 21st-century studies.

Special Education and Social Control (Routledge Library Editions: Special Educational Needs)

First published in 1982. Between 1955 and 1980 the number of pupils in special needs schools in Britain increased tenfold. Between 1970 and 1977 the number of units for ‘difficult’ pupils also increased tenfold and went on increasing. Some observers saw this as a welcome advance in special education, others as an extension of discrimination. The authors of this study highlight the dangers of such a provision being used as a form of social control, which may be imposed on children whose only failure is an inability to fit into the stereotype of the ideal student.
