  • Socio-Economic Factors and the Schooling of Working-Class Children Aged Seven and Under in Seven Areas of North London
    !IV -i- SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS AND THE SCHOOLING OF WORKING-CLASS CHILDREN AGED SEVEN AND UNDER IN SEVEN AREAS OF NORM LONDON, 1800-1851 NAIMA BROWNE Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Faculty of Education, University of London Institute of Education. 1990 ABSTRACT In the 1850s publicly-aided schools for infants co-existed with private working-class schools, some of which also catered for very young children. During the first half of the nineteenth century parents of infant-aged children could decide whether or not to send their child to school; if they opted for schooling they might then have had to make decisions about the type of school to use. This investigation set out to establish whether working-class parents' decisions regarding the schooling of their very young children were influenced by a range of socio-economic factors, and whether parents with certain life-styles were more favourably disposed towards the public infant schools than towards the much maligned private working-class schools. This investigation examined the school attendance of infants in relation to a range of socio-economic factors, which included parental occupation, whether or not the mother was at work, the employment and schooling patterns of older children in the family, the parents' religion and country of birth, the size of the family and the ages of the children concerned. The autonomy and independence of members of the working-class was acknowledged throughout the study by emphasising the parents' role in determining the pattern of their children's education. Seven small areas of North London were chosen for in-depth analysis.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Research A
    11 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Research A writer or an author is going to express their idea through their writing or text, such as in poem, novel. It is interesting because an author will tell it in beauty of words, phrases, sentences even passages and books. They may express about themselves, their surrounding, environment, society condition, nature, politic, history or criticism of something. According to Engels which rewritten by Laurenson and Swingewood (1972), he stated that literature as reflection of social processes. It means that literature as written language product is related to society that gives colors in the work. Basing on explanation above, it is clear that literary work is product of society. An author is not able to be separated from the society or environment, they relate each others, and it is harmony. In creating literary work, he will be influenced by surrounding, and the result of writing, literary work, is going to influence the readers as society members. According to Wellek and Warren (1948: 3), literature is “creative, an art”. In this term, they stated that literature is a creativity work in art. This term is still wide and common. Then, Cuddon (1999: 472) defines literature as “a vague term which usually denotes works which belong to the major genres: epic, drama, lyric, novel, short story ode.” Cuddon is able to give explanation clearer than Wellek and Warren, he give the types or work of it. 1 2 In several literary works express many features of thought and feeling on subjects as varied as social class, work, love, religion, nature, and art.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Letters of Charles Dickens: 1833–1870 Edited by Georgina Hogarth and Mary Dickens Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-04004-4 - Letters of Charles Dickens: 1833–1870 Edited by Georgina Hogarth and Mary Dickens Frontmatter More information CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION Books of enduring scholarly value Literary Studies This series provides a high-quality selection of early printings of literary works, textual editions, anthologies and literary criticism which are of lasting scholarly interest. Ranging from Old English to Shakespeare to early twentieth-century work from around the world, these books offer a valuable resource for scholars in reception history, textual editing, and literary studies. Letters of Charles Dickens This selection from the letters of Charles Dickens (1812–70) was edited (as it says on the title page) ‘by his sister-in-law and his eldest daughter’. The former was Georgina Hogarth (1827–1917), who stayed in Dickens’ household and cared for the family when the author separated from his wife, her sister, in 1858; the latter was Mary (1838–96), known in the family as Mamie, his favourite child. They had published a three-volume edition in 1880, and a ‘New Edition’ in 1882; this reissue is of the single-volume third edition of 1893. The collection was seen as a ‘supplement’ to Forster’s life of Dickens (also reissued in this series). Inevitably, it focuses on the positive and dynamic sides of Dickens’ complex character, and gives a vivid portrait of a man juggling family life, writing, editing, travelling, amateur theatricals and public readings from his works with tremendous energy and verve. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-04004-4 - Letters of Charles Dickens: 1833–1870 Edited by Georgina Hogarth and Mary Dickens Frontmatter More information Cambridge University Press has long been a pioneer in the reissuing of out-of-print titles from its own backlist, producing digital reprints of books that are still sought after by scholars and students but could not be reprinted economically using traditional technology.

  • Lecture 5 to UNESCO.Pdf (459.39
    Lecture № 5 The theme: ENGLISH AND AMERICAN FAMOUS WRITERS, POETS AND PLAYWRIGHTS Plan: 1. Introduction. 2. The life and creative activity of William Shakespeare. 3. The life and creative activity of Charles John Huffam Dickens. 4. The life and creative activity of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain). 5. The life and creative activity of Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (Theodore Dreiser). 6. The life and creative activity of James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (James Joyce). 7. The life and creative activity of Ernest Miller Hemingway (Ernest Miller Hemingway). 8. Exercises for the consolidation of the lecture. 9. Assessment. 1. Introduction. At the end of the 20 th century new writers, poets and playwright appeared. During the 1970s and early 1980s, such writers as Greene, Lessing and Le Carre continued to produce important novels. Modern writers are creating their works in different genres and various themes. John Fowler combined adventure and mystery in such novels as “The French Lieutenant's Woman” (1969), Margaret Drabble described the complex lives of educated middle-class people in London in “The Garrick Years”(1964), “The Middle Ground”(1980) and other novels. Iris Murdoch's novels are psychological studies of upper middle-class intellectuals. The three leading English poets today are Ted Hughes, Philip Larkin, and Donald Davie. Ted Hughs produced a major work in his cycle of “Crow” poems (1970-1971). Philip Larkin's verse has been published in his collection “High 1 Windows” (1974). Many of Davie's poems were collected in “In the Stopping Train” (1977). Drama is also flourishing in today's English literature.

The activities are variations of the rehearsal techniques used by Max Stafford-Clark during the production, and present creative and practical strategies for learning in a classroom setting. The workpack also works alongside the workshop that Out of Joint provides for Andersen’s English, led by the Artistic Director, the Associate Director or the Education Manager. The resources are primarily aimed at students aged 16+ who are studying Drama at BTEC or A Level. The workpack is in two main sections – Researching the Play and the Rehearsal Process. Rehearsing the Play Andersen’s English explores the story behind a real meeting between Charles Dickens and Hans Christian Andersen, when the latter outstayed his welcome at Gads Hill Place in 1857. Artistic Director Max Stafford-Clark always encourages vigorous research before and during the rehearsal process, and with 9 out of the 10 characters in the play being real people, there was extensive reading on this period of history and the people themselves. This section includes an introduction into the play’s setting, as well as Dickens himself and the controversy of his personal life in his later years. Rehearsing the Play The Associate Director Jessica Swale gives is an insight into the rehearsal process with extracts from her diary over the five weeks before opening in Bury St Edmunds.
