Description
Comprising 13 studies relating to the impact of the Reformation in the 16th and 17th centuries, this volume examines the development of education the the wider understanding of history as past actuality and its interpretation. The articles within the book investigate the concern with education and the meaning of history in the age of the Renaissance and Reformation. Such concern for education and history was not surpassed until the 19th and 20th centuries, and so these articles also seek to explore the impact of the Reformation on education and history in the late 20th century.
