Description

Explore the evolution of the Victorian and Edwardian public school through Education in Manliness. This scholarly work by Routledge examines the educational ideals that shaped a generation, focusing on the concept of 'true manliness' developed by Edward Thring, the era's most famous headmaster. The book traces how these ideals were built upon Platonic concepts of the whole man and Christian examples. It provides a detailed look at the holistic practices found at Uppingham and other mid-Victorian schools. Readers will follow the historical shift as manliness moved toward physical training via the muscular Christians in the 1860s, and how it later moved toward Spartanism driven by games masters and sports culture. This text is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of social sciences, anthropology, and sociology. It offers a deep look into how educational philosophies were formulated and how they changed over time within the British school system.
