This fascinating cultural and intellectual history focuses on
education as practiced by the imperial age Romans, looking at what
they considered the value of education and its effect on children.
W. Martin Bloomer details the processes, exercises, claims, and
contexts of liberal education from the late first century BCE to
the third century CE--the epoch of rhetorical education. He
examines the adaptation of Greek institutions, methods, and texts
by the Romans, and traces the Romans' own history of education.
Bloomer argues that while Rome's enduring educational legacy
includes the seven liberal arts and a canon of school texts, its
practice of competitive displays of reading, writing, and reciting
were intended to instill in the young social as well as
intellectual ideas.
