This book discusses educational developments during a crucial
period of English history in their social context, revising a
long-standing interpretation of the effect of Reformation
legislation. Tracing trends from the fifteenth to the seventeenth
century, it is in three parts. The first considers the pattern in
the later maiddle ages and the conditions favouring the spread of
humanist ideas which were to be adapted and applied at the
Reformation. In Part II there is a detailed survey of measures
takeen under Henry VIII and during the reign of Edward VI when
state intervention to control the organisation and curriculum of
schools and universities laid the foundations of the modern system
of education. Finally, after a review of the relation between
educational and social change, the focus is on three main aspects
during the conservative Elizabethan age: consolidation of the
school system, the pattern devised for the institution of the
gentleman; the extension of the popular education fostered by the
puritan ethic and the pressure of practical needs - forecasting the
next major move for educational reform in the mid-seventeenth
century.
