The English School : Its Architecture and Organization 1370-1870, Paperback / softback Book

The English School : Its Architecture and Organization 1370-1870 Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Paperback / softback

Description

Britain has a rich heritage of school buildings dating from the later Middle Ages to the present day.

While some of these schools have attracted the attention of architectural historians, they have not previously been considered from the educational viewpoint.

Even schools of little or no architectural interest are important sociologically, since the changing architecture of schools reflects changing ideas about how children should be educated and organized for teaching purposes.

Documentary material relating to education is often fragmentary, and buildings may thus constitute the only real source of knowledge about the development of particular schools and can also throw light on general educational history. Originally published in 1971, this book is, therefore, not only a major contribution to architectural history but also a study in the development of educational ideas and practices from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century.
