Thus, the\u003cbr\u003eauthor joins the ranks of those who strive to historicize Dewey’s pragmatist pedagogy\u003cbr\u003eand contextualize his celebrated school experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on new archival research and dozens of overlooked sources, Knoll offers numerous\u003cbr\u003einsights into what was and was not original in Dewey’s pedagogy, and to what degree\u003cbr\u003eDewey and his associates were successful in faithfully implementing his complicated\u003cbr\u003evision. This is Dewey scholarship at its very best!\u003cbr\u003e                                                   Thomas Fallace, author of Dewey and the Dilemma of Race\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“While many historians have chronicled the growth of John Dewey’s educational philosophy,\u003cbr\u003every few have traced in detail its application by Dewey in the real world. In this\u003cbr\u003esuperb critical study of Deweyan educational reform, Michael Knoll does both. At once\u003cbr\u003ea tour de force and a cautionary tale.”\u003cbr\u003e                    Andrew Feffer, author of The Chicago Pragmatists and American Progressivism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Michael Knoll’s meticulous archival research places Dewey’s work both in the long\u003cbr\u003esweep of the history of educational ideas and in the context of Dewey’s historical moment.\u003cbr\u003eKnoll highlights significant transatlantic currents in the New Education, illuminates misunderstood\u003cbr\u003eor overlooked episodes in Dewey’s lifework, and humanizes Dewey. Knoll’s\u003cbr\u003efindings and interpretations will challenge scholars to reassess prevailing perspectives\u003cbr\u003enot only on Dewey’s work, but also on early 20th century education reform in the US.”\u003cbr\u003e                 William G.
