Sarah Trimmer was an experienced Sunday and charity school
educator, remembered for her popularization of images and fables in
children's textbooks. Trimmer's ideas were already well respected
during her lifetime and many of her books saw multiple editions,
eliciting the interest of such figures as Queen Charlotte and the
Dowager Countess Spencer. Her Reflections upon the Education of
Children in Charity Schools, first published in 1792, was one of
several books she wrote to advise her readers on how to approach
the Christian education of the poor. In it, Trimmer passionately
advocated for the utility of charity schools, provided that they
followed a more age-appropriate and critical curriculum, which she
conveniently published as separate editions. Those interested in
the history of education, social history, the Society for the
Propagation of Christian Knowledge, or the changing voice of female
authorship will benefit from this book.
