A sequel to Nicholas Orme's widely praised study, Medieval Children
Children have gone to school in England since Roman times. By the
end of the middle ages there were hundreds of schools, supporting a
highly literate society. This book traces their history from the
Romans to the Renaissance, showing how they developed, what they
taught, how they were run, and who attended them. Every kind of
school is covered, from reading schools in churches and town
grammar schools to schools in monasteries and nunneries, business
schools, and theological schools. The author also shows how they
fitted into a constantly changing world, ending with the impacts of
the Renaissance and the Reformation. Medieval schools anticipated
nearly all the ideas, practices, and institutions of schooling
today. Their remarkable successes in linguistic and literary work,
organizational development, teaching large numbers of people shaped
the societies that they served. Only by understanding what schools
achieved can we fathom the nature of the middle ages.
