Educational Theory in British Children's Literary Classics: Teaching and Learning Down the Rabbit Hole

By Thomas albritton

In this book, Thomas Albritton explores images of teaching and learning in several giants in the canon of British children's literature. Identifying traces of Plato, Rousseau, Dewey, and Vygotsky; portrayals of growth mindset and high stakes testing; and evidence of the pedagogical power of inquiry, teacher personality, and project-based learning, Albritton's analysis results in both a richer appreciation for the literature and a deeper understanding of the educational theory.
