A Cultural History of Education in the Renaissance 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.

Education was the fuel for the communication and knowledge society of the Renaissance. This period saw increasing investments in educational institutions to meet the growing demand for literacy in the context of a religiously divided Europe with growing cities and emerging central governments.

An essential resource for researchers, scholars, and students in history, literature, culture, and education.

Jeroen J.H. Dekker is Honorary Professor of History and Theory of Education at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.
