Villages and towns in the Victorian era saw a great expansion in
educational provision, and witnessed the rise of the elementary
teaching profession, often provided and supported by local
clergymen. This book investigates the social and economic
relationships of such clergymen and teachers who worked
co-operatively and at times in competition with each other, their
relative positions typified by the comment of one contemporary
clergyman as 'those of master and servant'. The inevitable result
was a complex of movements in society in the final third of the
nineteenth century that led to increasing clashes in villages, as
one group (the clergy) sought to preserve its hold on its status
and power, while the other (male and female teachers) attempted to
secure their new role in society. The research presented is based
on previously unused, original sources -- church documents, HMI
reports, newspapers and journals and private papers. It is not
confined, as is the case with so much recent research, to the
Church of England, but breaks new ground in providing a comparative
analysis of the social position and educational work of Roman
Catholic and Wesleyan clergy, and their collaboration with their
elementary school teachers. This book is essential reading for all
those interested in Victorian Education.
