They praised their teachers in official writing, but composed and translated scenes of instruction that revealed the emotional and cognitive complexity of learning. Irina Dumitrescu explores how early medieval writers used fictional representations of education to explore the relationship between teacher and student. These texts hint at the challenges of teaching and learning: curiosity, pride, forgetfulness, inattention, and despair. Still, these difficulties are understood to be part of the dynamic process of pedagogy, not simply a sign of its failure. The book demonstrates the enduring concern of Anglo-Saxon authors with learning throughout Old English and Latin poems, hagiographies, histories, and schoolbooks"--Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Letters: Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People -- Prayer: Solomon and Saturn I -- Violence: Ãlfric Bata's Colloquies -- Recollection: Andreas -- Desire: The life of St Mary of Egypt -- The ends of teaching. 650 0 $a English literature $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Education in literature. 650 0 $a Teachers in literature. 650 0 $a Civilization, Anglo-Saxon, in literature. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Anglo-Saxon period, 449-1066. 650 7 $a Civilization, Anglo-Saxon, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862965 650 7 $a Education in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902865 650 7 $a English literature $x Old English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710962 650 7 $a Teachers in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144473 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 449-1100 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 880 8 $6 505-00 $a 1.
