Societal Responsibility and the Child : The Child, Society and the World: Unpublished Speeches and Writings

• The Child, Society and the World: Unpublished Speeches and Writings was first published in a German translation in 1979. As the English title notes, the text is a collection based on notes transcribed by different individuals along with unedited notes from lectures to teachers or other speeches. Almost all the lectures within this text were translated from Italian to English because Maria Montessori preferred to lecture in Italian. These circumstances are important context for the reader, as it is vital to understand that the exact words and their meanings may have been altered to some extent in transcription notes and translations. Yet the text at hand is still valuable given that it allows readers to learn various aspects of Montessori’s pedagogy. Readers will come to see the directness of Montessori’s lectures between 1930 and 1951 and her descriptions of widely differing topics related to the pedagogy. For some, this means that the content of the text can seem fragmented and loosely related. This effect is partly mitigated by the work of the first volume’s editor, Günter Schulz-Benesch who worked to create a logical structure by arranging the texts into six different sections addressed below.
