Abstract	This paper, based on the author's presidential address to the History of Education Society in November 2006, explores aspects of continuity and change over the past 40 years with particular reference to educational reform and the development of the History of Education Society itself. It assesses the significance of the work of the playwright Alan Bennett in relation to the "Great Debate" in Britain, especially its appeal to nostalgia and tradition during a phase of rapid change. In so doing it emphasizes the potential role of literary sources and the importance of an understanding of broader cultural dynamics in the history of education. It then reviews the strategic issues facing the History of Education as a consequence of the wider changes that have taken place since its foundation in 1967. It also considers several aspects of the intellectual project of the history of education in a changed society and in the broader context of global change, noting in particular the scope for new work on the national past, the interdependence of Britain's internal and external relationships, Britain's relationship to a changing Europe, and global history. (Contains 50 footnotes.) (Author).
