The "Haunting Silence": Autobiographical Accounts of Secondary Teaching in Twentieth-Century Ireland
Walsh, Brendan
Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, v57 n5 p560-577 2021
This article employs five teacher autobiographies in an attempt to examine their contribution to the history of teaching in Ireland. The article argues that such autobiographies provide significant insights into the history of the classroom and often represent subversive and disruptive narratives. As such they represent a valuable but overlooked source.
