Education for Poor Neapolitan Children: Julie Schwabe's Nineteenth-Century Secular Mission
Albisetti, James C.
History of Education, v35 n6 p637-652 Nov 2006
British support for Italian unification in the nineteenth century is well known but little research exists on continued British involvement with Italy after 1860. One of the most remarkable figures of this era was Julie Schwabe, who launched a one-woman campaign to raise funds to establish schools in Naples. Her first institution closed because of cholera, but in the 1870s she started anew, raising funds in England, France, Germany and Italy in support of what she at times labeled "a good international". (Contains 50 footnotes and 1 figure.)
