About This Book

The author surveys the development of schooling, textbooks, and teachers in Great Britain, beginning with the earliest printed instructional works and tracing the adoption and adaptation of foreign grammars and pedagogical manuals. He examines notable medieval and early modern instructional texts, their editions and circulation, and how abbreviated grammars and schoolbooks shaped classroom practice. The study combines chronological narrative with bibliographical description, offering examples of curricula, publishing history, and the evolving responsibilities and methods of schoolmasters in educational development.
