Originally published in 1921 as part of the Contributions to the
History of Education series, this book sets out the roots of modern
educational ideas as invented by celebrated educators in the
Renaissance, both in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. Woodward
describes the innovations provided by Continental Renaissance
figures such as Erasmus, Melanchthon and Bude, and English authors
like Thomas Elyot, as well as other figures previously unaddressed
in English studies of educational history. He also includes a brief
study of the subjects thought suitable for women in this period.
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the
development of European education, or in the Renaissance more
generally.
Originally published in 1904, this book discusses the fundamental
importance of education and theories of education within the works
of Erasmus. Beginning with an outline of the life and
characteristics of Erasmus, the text moves through his educational
aims, ideas on the beginnings of the educational process and
conception of the liberal arts. The second part of the text
presents four extracts from the writings of Erasmus which express
his views on education. Apart from a short chapter from De
Conscribendis Epistolis, which is given in Latin with English
headings, these extracts are all translated into English. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in Erasmus and the
historical development of education.

'The humanist idea of education is among the permanently
influential legacies of the Italian Renaissance. Four short Latin
treatises published between 1400 and 1460 define it admirably: Pier
Paolo Vergerio's De ingenuis moribus et liberalibus adolescentiae
studiis; Leonardo Bruni's De studiis et literis; the De liberorum
educatione of Aeneas Sylvius, who later became Pope Pius II; and
Battista Guarino's De ordine docendi et studendi. Translated into
English by William Harrison Woodward and framed, on the one hand,
by his description of the famous school founded by Vittorino da
Feltre in 1424 at the court of Gianfrancesco Gonzaga, marquis of
Mantua, and, on the other, by a judiciously balanced analysis of
the aims and methods of the humanist educators, these important
texts form the heart of a book that has remained for almost seventy
years the fundamental study of early Renaissance educational theory
and practice.'
