Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documents Illustrating Early Education in Worcester: 685 to 1700 The object of this volume is to present in a collected form all the records which can be found bearing on the history of education in Worcester to the year 1700. As it is usual - at least up to the year 1896 - to impute not only the beginnings, but practically the whole of education before the Reformation to the monasteries and the monks, special pains have been taken to ransack the monastic archives of Worcester for any and every educational entry. Thanks to the labours of Canon James Maurice Wilson - himself first at Rugby and then as Headmaster of Clifton, a life-long devotee of education, and after he had long been dowered with the baton of retirement, acting Headmaster of the King's School for a term in 1908 - in collecting and procuring the collection, sorting and arrangement of the muniments of the Dean and Chapter, the task of extracting the educational entries from them has been immensely lightened. But for his work it could hardly have been attempted at all. As far as the monks are concerned, the harvest is small in proportion to the labour spent on it. It consists chiefly of items, repeated year after year from the end of the thirteenth to the middle of the sixteenth century, in the account rolls of the Cellarer representing his payments for the two monks maintained as scholars at Oxford, and more varied, but less regular, entries from the account rolls of the Almoner and the Warden of the Lady Chapel from the middle of the fifteenth to the middle of the sixteenth century of expenditure on the maintenance and education of the small number of boys, never exceeding fourteen, who were kept in the Almonry and sang in the Lady Chapel.

Download or read book Grammar Schools of Medieval England written by John N. Miner and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leach struggled to rid his countrymen of the persistent myth that the monks had been the schoolmasters of the pre-Reformation period in England. To accomplish his goal he embarked on a program of research and publication, based on a mass of hitherto unexplored documents, to establish the great antiquity of many of the nation's Latin schools and to show that they derived from clerical, but secular, colleges of Anglo-Saxon times. Showing this would, he hoped, eliminate the persistant belief that monks had been the school-masters of pre-Reformation England. Miner argues that previous readings of Leach, which suggest that his main concern is to take issue with the Reformation and argue that this great watershed in history was - at least with regard to education - a retrograde step rather than a great movement forward, have not taken into account the full range of his publications. The aim of the present study is thus to place both Leach's achievements and his more controversial theses in historical context. A separate chapter devoted to unpublished material from the Charity Commission reveals Leach's method of work and provides an analytic survey of opinions on his work by reviewers and historians. The author supplements Leach's lack of material on the school curriculum through descriptive analysis of grammatical manuscripts from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, showing the presence of an educational Christendom of which Leach was clearly unaware.

Download or read book Medieval Schools written by Nicholas Orme and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sequel to Nicholas Orme's widely praised study, Medieval Children Children have gone to school in England since Roman times. By the end of the middle ages there were hundreds of schools, supporting a highly literate society. This book traces their history from the Romans to the Renaissance, showing how they developed, what they taught, how they were run, and who attended them. Every kind of school is covered, from reading schools in churches and town grammar schools to schools in monasteries and nunneries, business schools, and theological schools. The author also shows how they fitted into a constantly changing world, ending with the impacts of the Renaissance and the Reformation. Medieval schools anticipated nearly all the ideas, practices, and institutions of schooling today. Their remarkable successes in linguistic and literary work, organizational development, teaching large numbers of people shaped the societies that they served. Only by understanding what schools achieved can we fathom the nature of the middle ages.
Download or read book Thomas Tomkins The Last Elizabethan written by Anthony Boden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656), a major figure of the Golden Age of British music, was arguably the greatest of all Welsh-born composers. Living through one of the most revolutionary periods in British history, his professional life was spent in the service of the Crown and the Church at both the Chapel Royal and Worcester Cathedral. Surviving the Civil War, the suppression of the music of the English Church, the closure of the Chapel Royal, the destruction of his organ at Worcester and the devastation of the city, Tomkins was able to find the strength and inspiration to continue composing secular music of fine quality. Much of Tomkins's output has survived, including his collection of music for the Anglican rite, Musica Deo Sacra, published posthumously in 1668. His work embraced both sacred and secular vocal music, pieces for keyboard and for viol consort, thereby proving him to be one of the most versatile figures of English Renaissance music. The first part of the book provides an absorbing biography of Tomkins, setting his life into fascinating historical context. The second and third parts include major essays on Tomkins by Denis Stevens, Bernard Rose, Peter James and David Evans, all authorities on the music of the period with each providing perceptive insights into Tomkins's music. The result is a successful piece of collective work that properly places Tomkins and his achievements in his time and enables readers to reassess him properly in relation to his elders and contemporaries. Tomkins has still not reached the 'household name' status of his great teacher, William Byrd, or of his close friend and colleague, Orlando Gibbons, but he is undoubtedly worthy of much greater recognition. The book complements the increasing number of live performances and recordings of Tomkins's music, both sacred and secular, and such a comprehensive account of the man and his work should appeal to early music scholars, performers and music lovers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1800 entries this valuable reference work covers texts and records of dramatic activity for about 400 sites in Britain from Roman times to 1558. Grouped in sections - texts listed chronologically; Records of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and Other, classified by county, site, and date; and doubtful texts and records - the entries summarize the contents of each record and give bibliographic information. Professor Lancashire presents a comprehensive survey of almost every type of literary and historical record, document, and work: civic, church, guild, monastic, and royal court minutes and financial accounts; national records - Chancery, Parliament, Privy Council, Exchequer; royal proclamations; wills; local court rolls; jest-books, poems, prose treatises, sermons; archaeological remains, artifacts, illustrations. He brings together works in several normally unrelated fields: Roman theatre in Britain; medieval drama as such, including the Corpus Christi play and the moral play; court revels of the Tudors, and of their predecessors in England and Scotland; and finally Latin and Greek drama as played in Oxford and Cambridge colleges. An introduction outlines the history of early drama in Britain. Appendixes include indexes of about 335 towns or patrons with travelling players, complete with rough itineraries; about 180 playwrights; and about 320 playing places and buildings. There are illustrations, four maps, and a large general subject and name index.
