Thring of Uppingham : Victorian Educator

Richardson combines the research of many different scholars and researchers on the life and work of Edward Thring (1821-1887), proclaimed the most original educationalist and schoolmaster during his time. He was best known for building a small, three-hundred-year-old grammar school into a large boarding school of national reputation. The book includes several full-color illustrations, a family tree, references from primary and secondary sources, timelines, and tables. Target audiences include instructors, students, and researchers of history, particularly mid-Victorian British history, as well as those interested in boarding school education in the Victorian era.
