«Summerhill» is the pedagogical essay by A.S. Neill, published by Eumo Editorial SAU in paperback, with 416 pages and text in Catalan.
In Summerhill, A.S. Neill sets out the philosophy of a school where children are raised in freedom and happiness. Neill argues that childhood unhappiness makes the child hostile towards himself and others, and that crimes and wars derive from it. The educational proposal is based on self-management and self-control as opposed to rigid rules.
«Summerhill» belongs to the collection «Textos pedagògics», where it bears the number 999, and includes a translation by Jordi Mones i Pujol Busquets; the edition is from 1986.
For educators and readers interested in pedagogy, free education, school self-management and child welfare.
Alexander Sutherland Neill was a Scottish educator and author known for his school, Summerhill, and its philosophy of freedom from adult coercion and community self-governance. Raised in Scotland, Neill taught at several schools before attending the University of Edinburgh in 1908–1912. He took two jobs in journalism before World War I, and taught at Gretna Green Village School in the second year of the war, writing his first book, A Dominie's Log (1915), as a diary of his life there as head teacher. He joined a Dresden school in 1921 and founded Summerhill on returning to England in 1924. Summerhill gained renown in the 1930s and then in the 1960s–1970s, due to progressive and counter-culture interest. Neill wrote 20 books. His top seller was the 1960 Summerhill, read widely in the free school movement from the 1960s.
