The National Political Education Institutes (NPEA, or Napolas) were boarding schools for the Third Reich’s future elite. Founded on the occasion of Adolf Hitler’s birthday in 1933, the Napolas represented the National Socialist regime’s most consequential experiment in the realm of education. As institutes of “total education” and extreme microcosms of the Nazi racial community, these schools spread from the Prussian heartland into all corners of Nazi-occupied Europe, and immersed boys (and later girls) of impeccable “Aryan” qualities from the age of ten and upward in a curriculum that amalgamated pedagogical elements from antiquity, Wilhelmine and Weimar Germany, the British public school system, and, of course, Nazi racial ideology. By the end of the Second World War, over forty Napolas had opened their doors to thousands of aspiring leaders of the Nazi New Order—many of whom struggled for decades after the collapse of the Third Reich to make sense of their youths as Nazi elite school pupils.

close reading of particular texts – and the analysis of these can seem to lose sight of the main development of chapters, as features of the individual works seem to be covered for their own sakes. Perhaps the worst example of this is the conclusion, looking at Walter Scott’s writings. These were produced well after the main period of study here, they are not advertised in the title of the work, and there is little account of trends in the intervening decades to link them into the analysis. A more contextual historical methodology might also have allowed a stronger defence of the central assertion that the years from 1688 to 1745 were key to the emergence of print as the determinant of cultural memory in Britain. Print certainly expanded greatly in this period, and it was perhaps true that writers such as David Hume were developing more sophisticated understandings of how perceptions of the past built communities, so the processes of creating cultural memory might have been becoming more self-aware. Yet we all want the period we study to be crucial, so we need to guard against the biases this brings by considering the claims of other eras. This reviewer works on the late seventeenth century and is enthusiastic for its importance. Yet he would still assert that print’s role in using history to create images of the nation was more significant and innovative at other times: particularly during the sixteenth-century reformation. Maybe these are simply the gripes of a mainstream and old-fashioned religious and political historian: there is stimulating stuff in this volume despite these criticisms.

not know about the atrocities; a dubious proposition given the ubiquity of newspapers and the circulation of news through commercial channels. On slavery, they were certainly brought up to speed. On this issue, Corfield takes the liberal line. There were people for and against, and eventually freedom triumphed over vested interests. This generalisation skirts the question of why the most impressive mass petitioning movement in British history was unable to secure abolition in 1792, why there was a significant hiatus in granting emancipation, why indentured labourers of colour had to be brought in to do the grunt work of harvesting tropical staples and why the British empire and its manufacturing base continued to be sustained by the enslaved labour of other countries. It is difficult to see 1807 and 1833 as great milestones in human freedom. Corfield is good at what she knows best: social taxonomies; professional life; the urban milieu of the middle class. The apt anecdote and colourful detail make The Georgians a readable book, but it falls short of its aim. This is because, in the end, it is impossible to encompass ‘deeds’ and ‘misdeeds’ within one book. In the current climate, in particular, ‘misdeeds’ require more explication, more exploration at the micro-level and a discussion of what the historical record might reasonably bear.

environmental, and social history of the enlightenment. Hickman’s epilogue suggests that the future of garden history is in studying horticulture in conjunction with histories of colonialism, sensory history, and environmental history. By showing how gardens represented an embodiment of the scientific and social aspirations of Georgian physicians, she has made a valuable contribution to that endeavour.
