Publisher's Synopsis
The Schoolmaster In Literature is a book written by Hubert Marshall Skinner and published in 1892. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the role of the schoolmaster in literature, from Shakespeare to Dickens and beyond. Skinner examines how schoolmasters are portrayed in literature, what their characteristics are, and how they contribute to the overall themes and messages of the works in which they appear. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different literary periods and genres, including Elizabethan drama, the novel, and the Victorian era. Skinner draws on a wide range of literary examples to illustrate his points, including works by William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Charlotte Bronte, among others.Throughout the book, Skinner argues that the schoolmaster is a key figure in literature, representing a variety of social, cultural, and educational themes. He explores how schoolmasters are often depicted as disciplinarians, mentors, and role models, and how they can be used to comment on broader issues such as class, gender, and power.The Schoolmaster In Literature is a scholarly work that will appeal to readers interested in literary criticism, education, and the history of ideas. It is a valuable resource for anyone studying the representation of teachers and teaching in literature, and provides a fascinating insight into the ways in which literature can reflect and shape our understanding of education and society.Containing Selections From The Writings Of Ascham, Moliere, Fuller, Rousseau, Shenstone, Cowper, Goethe, Pestalozzi, Page, Mitford, Bronte, Hughes, Dickens, Thackeray, Irving, George Eliot, Eggleston, Thompson, And Others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
