The spring issue of Volume 11 of Childhood in the Past, the journal of the Society for the Study of Childhood in the Past, has just been published. This special issue is guest edited by John D. Burton and Jane Eva Baxter from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and focuses on nineteenth-century education. It had its genesis in the Society’s eighth international conference, organized by Jane Eva Baxter and hosted by DePaul University, in 2015. In addition to the research papers included in the special issue, we also include six book reviews, compiled by Simon Mays, on a range of exciting recent publications including the fifth SSCIP monograph – Children, Death and Burial (2017).
