Books on the early history of education in Britain do not appear very often, which is a good reason to welcome Princely Education in Early Modern Britain. Its own qualities are another. Aysha Pollnitz has studied nine princes and five princesses of England and Scotland who were intended to rule or came to rule a kingdom, from Henry VI in 1422 to Charles I about two centuries later. It does not include younger children such as the daughters of Henry VII. In each case, Pollnitz describes the arrangements made for a royal child’s household, the teachers provided, the curriculum followed, and the evidence given for his or her progress. The author has collected a great deal of information on these matters, and she expounds on it in a clear and generally convincing way. Her book is a valuable addition to the history of education as well as that of monarchy during the period, and will be a useful work of reference
