Virgil's Schoolboys adds a new layer of complexity to Virgil's
already complex pedagogical afterlife. Reading the ancient Roman
poet as an adventurous theorist of instruction, Andrew Wallace
examines the relationship between his serial meditations on
teaching in the Eclogues, Georgics, and Aeneid, and the pedagogical
theories and practices that dominated the spaces in which his poems
came to be taught in the grammar schools of Renaissance England.
Wallace argues not only that Virgil was a keen student of the
elusive operations of instruction, but that vitae and scholia from
antiquity to the Renaissance preserve a broad range of fractured
acknowledgements that pedagogical questions supply his poems with
their characteristic intellectual texture. In grammar schools all
across Renaissance England 'the book of Maro' was a gateway to
upper-form studies of the auctores. Even more significantly, it was
a gateway to some of humanist pedagogy's most self-conscious
meditations on the promise and fragility of the educational
project.
