An active retirement. 330 $aSamuel Wilderspin became a household name in his own lifetime. Befriended by Dickens, lampooned by Cruikshank, his achievements discussed in Parliament, he was one of the best known educators of the 1830s and 1840s. However, Wilderspin's consistent opposition to denominational education combined with his liberal and advanced views made him unpopular with the Establishment. Samuel Wilderspin's fame declined after his retirement in 1847 but his reputation as an infant school educator has survived. Many of his ideas and practices have had a great influence on infant education. In this book, first published in 1982, Wilderspin's own story is placed in the context of this growing movement led by Owen, Buchanan and Oberlin, and it goes a long way towards reinstating him as one of the prominent figures in the early education movement. This title will be of interest to students of history and education. 606 $aEducation, Elementary$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aElementary school teachers$zEngland$vBiography 615 0$aEducation, Elementary$xHistory 615 0$aElementary school teachers 676 $a372.941 700 $aMcCann$b Phillip$01022801 701 $aYoung$b Francis A.$f1918-$01022802 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153204303321 996 $aSamuel Wilderspin and the infant school movement$92429681 997 $aUNINA
