Description
Published as two volumes in 1798, Maria Edgeworth’s Practical Education was written collaboratively with her father, Richard Lovell Edgeworth. Edgeworth and her father wrote the collection of essays in an effort to highlight their approach to parenting and child-rearing. The Edgeworths believed in a moralistic method to raising children wherein children were taught the principles of right and wrong, and Practical Education reflects these beliefs. The book began as a series of reflections and anecdotes from Richard Edgeworth’s experiences raising his 22 children, but Maria’s additions quickly transformed the book from anecdotes to a collection of lessons and principles. Eventually, Richard and Maria decided that the book should work as a supplement to Maria’s short children’s stories. In addition to providing a set of principles to guide the education of children, Maria and her father set forth many ideas on how to teach children effectively and efficiently. In all, Practical Education is an ideal book for anyone interested in Maria Edgeworth’s notions of how to properly educate youth.
