“While the work of Charlotte Mason is known in some circles and continues to provide inspiration for education today, she is not a prominent figure in the canon of the history of educational reform in the 19th and early 20th century. This book sets the record straight by providing a wide-ranging, thoughtful, and multifaceted introduction into Mason’s life, work, and ideas. A rich source of information for scholars and practitioners alike, the book also raises important questions about where, how and for whom the work of Mason might be of value in today’s challenging educational climate.”Gert Biesta, Professor, The Centre for Public Education and Pedagogy, Maynooth University, Ireland.“This new volume of collected essays, Awakening the Whole Child, seeks to interact with the wide-ranging scope of Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy and Practice of Education and will undoubtedly usher in many new readers unfamiliar with her work. Rich engagement with her ideas and pedagogy, from many countries and on many levels, offers a clarity and challenge in trying to move forward with implementing Mason’s vision and vitality into the increasingly bleak, contemporary educational landscape. Written from a variety of perspectives, the discussions generated will hopefully, always reflect her lifegiving and evergreen principles.”Elaine Cooper, Charlotte Mason Consultant, Heritage School, Cambridge, UK, author of When Children Love to Learn: A Practical Application of Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy for Today.“Finally! Scholarship with handles - a doorway into Mason’s pedagogy that classrooms on five continents can walk through. In place of the numbed-out exhaustion of our technocratic age, this volume offers a luminous reintroduction to Charlotte Mason’s vision for education. At once rigorous and warm, it proves that Mason’s claim - children are born persons - still has world-making power.”Anne Snyder, Editor-in-Chief of Comment, author of The Fabric of Character.“This book engages readers with the philosophy of Charlotte Mason's pedagogy, showing how her principles can be meaningfully applied in the modern day. An essential book for every educator, especially those in countries unfamiliar with her work, such as Türkiye.”Yildiz Kizilabdullah, Professor, Religious Education Department, School of Divinity, Ankara University, Turkey.
