The Scholemaster

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Scholemaster' is a seminal treatise on pedagogy and the classical education system, written by the influential Tudor scholar and tutor to Queen Elizabeth I, Roger Ascham. This foundational work explores the 'double translation' method, advocating for a gentle and systematic approach to teaching Latin that emphasizes understanding over rote memorization and corporal punishment. Ascham provides insightful reflections on the development of the English language and the importance of moral character in the educational process.The text is divided into two primary sections: the first focuses on the general principles of teaching and the treatment of young scholars, while the second details specific techniques for mastering Latin prose. Beyond its practical advice for instructors, the work serves as a defense of the vernacular and a window into the intellectual life of the 16th century. 'The Scholemaster' remains a vital document for those interested in the history of education, Renaissance humanism, and the evolution of English prose style. Its emphasis on patience, mentorship, and the beauty of classical literature continues to resonate with educators and literary historians alike.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
