Description
Tracing the history of schools in medieval England from Roman times to the Renaissance, this book explores how they developed and evolved over time.
From reading schools in churches and town grammar schools to those in monasteries, nunneries, business schools, and theological schools, every type of school is covered. The author examines how these institutions fitted into a constantly changing world, highlighting their impacts on the societies they served.
The remarkable successes of medieval schools in linguistic and literary work, organizational development, and teaching large numbers of people continue to shape our understanding of the middle ages.
