Edward Thring: Teacher and Poet is a biography written by H.D. Rawnsley about the life and work of Edward Thring, a renowned educator and poet of the 19th century. Thring was the headmaster of Uppingham School in England, where he revolutionized the way education was taught and managed. He introduced the concept of student self-government, which allowed students to take responsibility for their own learning and behavior. Thring was also a prolific poet, and his works were widely published and admired during his lifetime. Rawnsley's book provides a detailed account of Thring's life, from his early years as a student at Cambridge University to his tenure as headmaster of Uppingham School. The book explores Thring's innovative teaching methods, his commitment to social justice and equality, and his enduring legacy as an educator and poet. Rawnsley draws on a wealth of primary sources, including Thring's own writings and letters, to provide a vivid and engaging portrait of this remarkable figure. Overall, Edward Thring: Teacher and Poet is a fascinating and insightful biography that sheds light on the life and work of one of the most influential educators and poets of the 19th century. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of education, poetry, or social reform in Victorian England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
