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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of all the known schools in the six counties of the West of England, from the Conquest to the Reformation. Most are described for the very first time or in greater detail than ever before. 120 schools are included: those of principal cities, smaller towns and villages, the new endowed schools and chantry schools of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and the educational institutions of the monasteries and religious houses. The account of each school covers (as far as possible) its origins, constitution, endowment and history up to the middle of the sixteenth century. Biographies are included of more than 100 founders, benefactors and schoolmasters. A full introduction explains the background of medieval school history and draws attention to points of special interest in the West of England. There are also ten maps and genealogies. The study covers a wide range of topics. As well as making a valuable contribution to the history of education, it casts a new light on the history of the Church and of lay society in the Middle Ages. Medieval people emerge as far more involved with education and learning than is generally thought. There is much in the text of interest to local historians concerned with local towns and villages.

Download or read book The English Grammar Schools to 1660 written by Foster Watson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1908, this important work on the history of education traces the development of teaching in English Grammar Schools from the invention of printing up to 1660. It is not a history of the theories of educational reformers as to what should or should not be taught, but a history of the actual practices of the schools, of their curricula and of the differentiated subjects of instruction. The author relies heavily on the textbooks used in schools in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in particular the ‘Ludus Literarius’ of John Brinsley and the ‘New Discovery of the Old Art of Teaching School’ of Charles Hoole, and makes free use of the School Statutes which state the express intention of the Founder as to what was to be taught. The period covered is one of great significance in which the Encyclopaedia of the medieval curriculum was abandoned for the modern practice of the differentiation of school subjects. The new knowledge of the Renaissance and the introduction of critical methods and of close analysis gave students a detailed knowledge which could not be fitted into the rigid confines of the medieval Encyclopaedia, while the invention of printing enormously facilitated the increase and spreading of text books for both teachers and pupils.

Cobban is able to give an overall view of the functioning of the English universities, touching on the development of the academic hierarchy, the various features of the curriculum and the teaching offered by these institutions.

This book was released on 2011-03-24 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural life of England over the long period from the Norman Conquest to the Reformation was rich and varied, in ways that scholars are only now beginning to understand in detail. This Companion introduces a wide range of materials that constitute the culture, or cultures, of medieval England, across fields including political and legal history, archaeology, social history, art history, religion and the history of education. Above all it looks at the literature of medieval England in Latin, French and English, plus post-medieval perspectives on the 'Middle Ages'. In a linked series of essays experts in these areas show the complex relationships between them, building up a broad account of rich patterns of life and literature in this period. The essays are supplemented by a chronology and guide to further reading, helping students build on the unique access this volume provides to what can seem a very foreign culture.
