Hedda Gabler (Paperback)
Henrik Ibsen; Translated by Edmund Gosse, William Archer

Ships in 10 - 15 working days
|
Written before, but published after The First World War, this
volume's plea for a national system of education which will produce
a nation of prosperous, morally fulfilled people able to live at
peace with other nations is doubly poignant given the sacrifice of
the 'lost generation'. However, the author also sees the horror of
the War as an opportunity to change human destiny through
education, an opportunity to abandon the narrow system of education
in favour of one which will 'bring education in touch with life'
and provide Britain with the intellectual and moral efficiency
necessary to steer her through the following turbulent years of the
twentieth century. Covering the core subjects of the English school
curriculum in the early twentieth century the chapters in The
Modern Teacher, if somewhat utopian, describe best practice in
teaching of the particular subject and suggest possible
improvements. One chapter also discusses the importance of the
relatively new subject of citizenship, as well as the moral
education of pupils.

On Dreams (Hardcover)

Ships in 12 - 17 working days
|
Originally published in 1935, William Archer's interest in dreams
had persisted for over quarter of a century, for ten years of which
he kept a careful record of his own dreams. These records alone
form a valuable collection of material, of which Archer made good
use in the writing of the book on dreams on which he was engaged at
the time of his death; large parts of these dream-records are
reproduced in this book. He left this book partly finished, partly
in draft, and partly in the form of notes. In putting together this
material the editor, Theodore Besterman, tries to carry out
Archer's intentions as closely as possible, and believed that he
represented the book as he would have wished it to appear. It was
unquestionably an important contribution to a difficult subject at
the time, the result of many years' study and reflection.
