Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Patriotism and Popular Education: With Some Thoughts Upon English Work and English Play, Our Evening Amusements, Shakespeare and the Condition of Our Theatres, Slang, Children on the Stage, the Training of Actors, English Politics, Before the War, National Training for National Defence, W These hot discursive thoughts were thrown upon paper during the ten months that followed the British retreat to the outskirts of Amiens. They take their general complexion from the events of that tremendous time, and reflect its fluctuating hopes and fears, its anxieties and agitations and suspenses, from the dark hours of April to the magic reversal of our fortunes in July, onwards to the present hour when, having defeated the Germans, we seem to be preparing to defeat ourselves. No book has over grown more strangely. Starting to write a letter to the papers upon the edict that prevents children from appearing on our stage, I found it would be too long for their restricted space. On considering the matter, I saw it was involved with our whole system of Popular Education. I therefore addressed myself to the Minister of Education, and the first two chapters of the book were in his hands before he passed the recent Education Act. Meantime it had daily become more and more evident that the question of National Education was of small moment in comparison with the question of National Existence. As the vast panorama displayed its succession of bewildering scenes, it caught me into its whirl. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
