Romantic Education in Nineteenth-Century American Literature (eBook, ePUB)

National and Transatlantic Contexts
Redaktion: Elbert, Monika; Ginsberg, Lesley

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The essays in this collection examine the on-going influence of Romanticism in the long nineteenth century on American thinking about education, as depicted in literary texts, in historical accounts of classroom dynamics, or in pedagogical treatises. They also point out that though this influence was generally progressive, the benefits of this social change did not reach many parts of American society. This book is therefore an important reference for scholars of Romantic studies, American studies, historical pedagogy and education.
