Bridging the English Channel: Huguenots in the Educational Milieu of the English Upper Class
Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, v54 n4 p389-409 2018
The article below deals with the phenomenon of French Huguenots in the English educational milieu in the early modern period. From private tutors to schoolmasters, travelling tutors and owners of riding schools, they occupied an important place in the local society. Through a careful evaluation of various references to Huguenot educators and examination of available primary sources, a collective portrait of such a tutor is built. Furthermore, particular attention is given to their personal networks and connections, enabling these migrants or refugees to establish themselves in the new home country. Educational ideas and practices of various Huguenot preceptors and schools are assessed in relation to each other, to humanistic education, and to contemporary thinkers.
