Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Courtenay provides a comprehensive account of educational structure and intellectual life in fourteenth-century England. Arguing that the two decades between 1320 and 1340 merit recognition as a golden age of English scholasticism, he examines the achievements of this period, their origins, and their adoption throughout continental Europe. He depicts an institutional setting, centered on Oxford but including cathedral and mendicant schools elsewhere, that rewarded not slavish obedience to school traditions but innovations in logic, mathematics, physics, and theology. He then analyzes the second half of the century, when thinkers like Wyclif moved toward more evangelical writing, when law outstripped theology in popularity at Oxford, and when courtly society replaced the schools as the major influence on English culture. Anticipating aspects of the sixteenth century, England after 1360 experienced an increase in lay literacy and a wider audience for biblical study, sermons, devotional treatises, and vernacular literature. The scope of Professor Courtenay's study of this transition from the world of Ockham to the world of Chaucer makes it of interest not only as a contribution to late medieval intellectual history but also as background for the study of Middle English literature.

This book was released on 1999-03-25 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the social, geographical and disciplinary composition of the scholarly community at the University of Paris in the early fourteenth century is based on the reconstruction of a remarkable document: the financial record of tax levied on university members in the academic year 1329–1330. Containing the names, financial level and often addresses of the majority of the masters and most prominent students, it is the single richest source for the social history of a medieval university before the late fourteenth century. After a thorough examination of the financial account, the history of such collections, and the case (a rape by a student) that precipitated legal expenses and the need for a collection, the book explores residential patterns, the relationship of students, masters and tutors, social class and levels of wealth, interaction with the royal court and the geographical background of university scholars.

Download or read book Medieval Schools written by Nicholas Orme and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sequel to Nicholas Orme's widely praised study, Medieval Children Children have gone to school in England since Roman times. By the end of the middle ages there were hundreds of schools, supporting a highly literate society. This book traces their history from the Romans to the Renaissance, showing how they developed, what they taught, how they were run, and who attended them. Every kind of school is covered, from reading schools in churches and town grammar schools to schools in monasteries and nunneries, business schools, and theological schools. The author also shows how they fitted into a constantly changing world, ending with the impacts of the Renaissance and the Reformation. Medieval schools anticipated nearly all the ideas, practices, and institutions of schooling today. Their remarkable successes in linguistic and literary work, organizational development, teaching large numbers of people shaped the societies that they served. Only by understanding what schools achieved can we fathom the nature of the middle ages.

Book Synopsis The University in Medieval Life, 1179-1499 by : Hunt Janin
Download or read book The University in Medieval Life, 1179-1499 written by Hunt Janin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The university is indigenous to Western Europe and is probably the greatest and most enduring achievement of the Middle Ages. Much more than stodgy institutions of learning, medieval universities were exciting arenas of people and ideas. They contributed greatly to the economic vitality of their host cities and served as birthplaces for some of the era's most effective minds, laws and discoveries. This survey traces the growth of the largest medieval universities of Bologna, Paris, and Oxford, along with the universities of Cambridge, Padua, Naples, Montpellier, Toulouse, Orleans, Angers, Prague, Vienna and Glasgow. Covering the years 1179-1499, this work discusses common traits of medieval universities, their major figures, and their roles in medieval life.
Book Synopsis Education in England and Wales by : Franklin Parker
Download or read book Education in England and Wales written by Franklin Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1991, this title was begun just before passage of the Education Reform Act of 1988 (ERA 88), which was implemented in the 1990s. This major act along with still-in-force provisions of the 1944 Education Act (with its 17 amendments) comprises the statutes governing education in England and Wales. The study reflects both the criticism and the praise showered on that important legislation, particularly in the Brief History and School Structure sections, and in Chapter 1 with its longer than usual annotations on ERA 88.
