A Cultural History of Education in Antiquity presents essays that examine the following key themes of the period: church, religion and morality; knowledge, media and communications; children and childhood; family, community and sociability; learners and learning; teachers and teaching; literacies; and life histories.
The book balances traditional approaches towards education with the new history of education that tackles the topic from a much broader scope. The chapters integrate evidence from the Greek and the Roman world, next to Christian evidence from late antiquity.
An essential resource for researchers, scholars, and students in history, literature, culture, and education.
Christian Laes is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Manchester, UK.
