Winship, Albert E. (Albert Edward) 1845-1933 creator text utu 2005 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Jukes-Edwards: A Study in Education and Heredity" by Albert E. Winship is an educational and sociological study written in the late 19th century. The work contrasts two families—the Jukes, a lineage of degenerates characterized by crime and poverty, and the Edwards family, descendants of Jonathan Edwards, renowned for their notable achievements and virtue. The study seeks to illuminate the impacts of education and heredity on social outcomes, particularly in the context of American society. The opening of the book introduces the Jukes family, articulating their history as a lineage marked by idleness, ignorance, and crime as documented by Richard Dugdale's earlier study. Winship emphasizes that the Jukes are a metaphorical representation of societal failure, tracing their genealogy to a progenitor named "Max." He contrasts this with the promising potential of Jonathan Edwards’ lineage, hinting at the subsequent chapters that will explore the latter's impressive intellectual and social achievements, highlighting themes of education, moral character, and the transformative ability of a nurturing environment. Overall, this foundational part sets the stage for an in-depth examination of heredity through social lenses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
