The Transatlantic Kindergarten
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-027441-2 (ISBN)
Ann Taylor Allen presents the first transnational history of the kindergarten as it developed in both Germany and America between 1840 and 1919. This story shows how transnational connections shaped and influenced national cultures. Based on a large body of unused or underused source material, found in numerous archives, libraries, and personal collections in both the United States and Germany, The Transatlantic Kindergarten's comparative analysis shows how a common body of ideas and practices adapted over time to two very different national environments.
The issues raised in the nineteenth century are still important in the present. The provision of public preschool education-an aim first developed by nineteenth-century kindergartners-is still an unfinished and much discussed project in both the United States and Germany.
Ann Taylor Allen is Professor Emerita of History at the University of Louisville. During a career of forty years, she taught students of different age groups, backgrounds, and interests, developing her department's first course on women's history in the early 1970s. Her books include Feminism and Motherhood in Western Europe, 1890-1970: The Maternal Dilemma and Women in Twentieth-Century Europe.
