Description

From the Inside Flap “With its copious notes and extensive bibliography, this text is useful for any student of classical pedagogy as well as those interested in the evolution of education through the ages. Bloomer has composed a compelling, insightful work that clearly moves our understanding of this vital aspect of Roman culture into greater lucidity. . . . [This] text deserves a wide audience.”—Bryn Mawr Classical Review “A clever and sophisticated reading of [Roman] society.”—London Review of Books Product Description This fascinating cultural and intellectual history focuses on education as practiced by the imperial age Romans, looking at what they considered the value of education and its effect on children. W. Martin Bloomer details the processes, exercises, claims, and contexts of liberal education from the late first century BCE to the third century CE - the epoch of rhetorical education. He examines the adaptation of Greek institutions, methods, and texts by the Romans, and traces the Romans' own history of education. Bloomer argues that while Rome's enduring educational legacy includes the seven liberal arts and a canon of school texts, its practice of competitive displays of reading, writing, and reciting were intended to instill in the young social as well as intellectual ideas. Review "A clever and sophisticated reading of [Roman] society."--Tim Whitmarsh "London Review Of Books" (6/7/2012 12:00:00 AM) "Adventurous. . . . An entertaining reconstruction of the difficulties encountered by early schools of rhetoric at Rome."--Teresa Morgan, Oriel College, Oxford "Jrnl Of Roman Stds/Jrnl Of Hellenic Stds" (2/7/2013 12:00:00 AM) "Bloomer has composed a compelling, insightful work. . . .
