This thought-provoking collection of essays and addresses by Denham Sutcliffe, a renowned British educator and social critic, offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual discourse of the early 20th century. Published in the aftermath of World War I, “What shall we defend?” grapples with the profound societal changes and ideological upheavals that reshaped the Western world. Sutcliffe’s eloquent and erudite prose challenges readers to examine the foundations of education, democracy, and cultural values in a rapidly evolving modern era. As a former headmaster of Birmingham’s King Edward’s School and a vocal advocate for educational reform, Sutcliffe’s perspectives on the role of education in shaping a just and enlightened society remain remarkably relevant today. This well-preserved copy, with its clean pages and secure binding, invites collectors and readers to immerse themselves in a timeless exploration of enduring human questions about knowledge, ethics, and societal progress.
