Pages : 462
Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons Preached at Uppingham School, Vol. 1 School sermons have a certain value of their own as belonging to a current of life; just as a streamlet flowing in a valley has more of human interest than a shower of rain. There is a touch of auld lang syne about them, a freshness of young hearts and boyhood, which never quite leaves them. If, more over, they have had any creative power, and have entered into the lives, and they and the Chapel have been a kind of home, in, and round, which the thoughts of the young have clustered, then, quite apart from anything else, they embody a cause, and may be loved as a sort of special property; so that in after years the man may send a brightness into them from his own soul, because his boyish recollections are bright. This is my apology, if apology is needed, for pouring forth this little rivulet of Uppingham life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sermons Preached at Uppingham School
In Time's eye
Author: Jan Montefiore
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526111284
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Challenging received opinion and breaking new ground in Kipling scholarship, these essays on Kipling’s attitudes to the First World War, to the culture of Edwardian England, to homosexuality and to Jewishness, bring historical, literary critical and postcolonial approaches to this perennially controversial writer. The Introduction situates the book in the context of Kipling’s changing reputation and of recent Kipling scholarship. After the perspectives of Chesterton (1905), Orwell (1942) and Jarrell (1960), newer contributions address Kipling's approach to the Boer war, his involvement with World War One, his Englishness and the politics of literary quotation. Different aspects of Kipling’s relation to India are explored, including the ‘Mutiny’, Eastern religions, his Indian travel writings and his knowledge of ‘the vernacular’. This collection, whose contributors include Hugh Brogan, Dan Jacobson, Daniel Karlin and Bryan Cheyette, is essential reading for academics and students of Kipling, Victorian and Edwardian English literature and cultural history.

Education in Manliness
Author: Malcolm Tozer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351065920
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Education in Manliness explores the central educational ideal of the Victorian and Edwardian public school. The book traces the formulation of what Edward Thring, the most celebrated headmaster of the era, termed ‘true manliness’, noting the debt to the Platonic concept of the whole man and to Christian example, before examining the ideal’s best holistic practice at Uppingham and other mid-Victorian schools. The central chapters follow the tilting of manliness to the physical by the muscular Christians in the 1860s, its distortion to Spartanism by the games masters and sporting dons from the 1870s, and its hijacking by the advocates of esprit de corps during the remainder of the century. The book lays bare the total perversion of the ideal by the military imperialists in the years up to the Great War, and traces the lifeline of holistic education through the progressive school movement from the 1880s to the 1970s. It then brings this up to date by comparing true manliness with the ‘wholeness’ ideal of schools of the new millennium. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students in the fields of history of education and the theory and practice of teaching, as well as school and university teachers, teacher trainers and trainee teachers.
