Civilising Offensive - Bog

Around 1850 Belgium was continental Europe¿s most heavily industrialised state. From the mid-century until the Belle Époque many international social reform associations were based in Belgium. This book will stimulate the debate between historians & social pedagogues on the 19th-century bourgeois ¿civilising offensive¿ and place the history of social, moral and educational reform in Belgium within a broader European perspective.
