Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schooling Readers takes up a largely unexplored genre of fiction, the common school narrative, popular between 1830 and 1890. These stories both propagate and challenge the myth of the idyllic one-room school, and reveal Americans' perceptions of and anxieties about public education, many of which still resonate today.
