Poor students experienced a kind of upward mobility that was not uncommon in old-regime Europe, which raised socially and politically sensitive questions. In addition to reconstructing the experience of poor students, this 1988 book uncovers the prescriptive norms inherent in both negative and positive perceptions of them.
