Overview

A comprehensive anthology that traces the development of rural elementary education across three centuries through memoirs, observations, and verse. The book presents various perspectives from pupils, teachers, inspectors, and managers, covering different types of rural schools including dame schools, hedge schools, common day schools, Muslim makhtabs, and Hindu pathasalas.    

Village Schools traces, through three centuries, the development of rural education in the United Kingdom and abroad. Memoirs, contemporary observations and verse are used effectively to enable the reader to look over the shoulders of the pupils, teachers, inspectors or occasional visitors, into a surprising variety of ancient and modern village schools.
