The Schoolmaster (1909) Hardback - 2008

The Schoolmaster is a book written by Roger Ascham and published in 1909. It is a treatise on education and teaching, and is considered one of the most important works on the subject in English literature. The book is divided into three parts, each of which deals with a different aspect of education. The first part discusses the importance of a good education and the role of the teacher in providing it. The second part focuses on the methods of teaching, including the use of games and other activities to make learning more enjoyable. The third part is a series of letters written by Ascham to his friend, John Sturm, in which he discusses various educational topics and offers advice on how to teach effectively. Throughout the book, Ascham emphasizes the importance of a classical education, and argues that students should be taught Latin and Greek in order to develop their minds and improve their moral character. The Schoolmaster is a classic work of educational theory, and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
