Summary:

Phillips (comparative education, U. of Oxford) explores how education at all levels in Germany has been used as both a good and bad example by people concerned with policy making and by other interested observers in England over the past 200 years or so. After setting out historical and theoretical perspectives, he discusses the beginnings of British interest in education in Germany, the Germane example in England 1833-70, towards a national system of education in England 1870-1918, aspects of the German university, developments in the two countries 1918-39, lessons from Germany since 1939, and evaluating the German example.
