Description

This Routledge Library Edition set provides a comprehensive look at the development of learning through James Bowen's A History of Western Education. This collection reprints the original volumes 1, 2, and 3 that were first published by Methuen in the 1970s. Volume One focuses on the Ancient World, covering the Orient and Mediterranean from 2000 B.C. to A.D. 1054. It traces the evolution of education from the early scribal cultures of Mesopotamia and Egypt to the learning found within the early Christian church. Readers can explore the specific achievements of Greece in areas such as literacy, philosophy, and training for public life.
