If you want to read a still classic treatise on education, check out Dorothy
L. Sayer's thesis monograph on the course of education reserved for the royal
heirs in the Middle Ages. It was absolutely wonderful, and you know she is
(was) a fabulous writer...I don't remember the title, but I know when I went
looking for it forty years ago it was pretty easy to locate in the libraries
and bookstores.
Not on microfiche, of course (now there is a case of cross-indexing skills
forever lost when they tossed out the old card systems).
Somewhere, I have a copy, but until the next time I can take a week to
reorganize my books, I have no clue where...but I faintly remember it was in
a volume of her non-fiction essays.
