Educational History and the Art of Biography.
Cruikshank, Kathleen
American Journal of Education, v107 n3 p231-39 May 1999
Lang's biography of William Heard Kilpatrick, based largely on Kilpatrick's own previously sealed diaries, provide the opportunity to explore the nature and purpose of biography, especially educational biography. Because the sources are Kilpatrick's own works and diaries, the biography lacks the context that would explain more about Kilpatrick's life. (SLD)
