"For students and early career researchers exploring comparative and international education for a course, a career or a project, this book spanning over 170 years of the history of the field is invaluable. What makes this edited volume so special is that the nine commentators on the group of British comparativists are themselves critical analysts of the history and development of comparative education. Their lens on the group is hugely valuable as they are able to look across the very considerable productivity of the group and identify some generative themes that contributed to the emerging field of comparative education. It illustrates a very considerable richness of insight into the influence and impact of individuals responsible in large part for creating the field of comparative and international education in the United Kingdom."
