Women's Education
About This Novel
The book includes Walter's "Daughter's Education", "True Stories" and the appendix "Last Words to Goddaughters". The author inherited and developed John Locke's basic educational philosophy. On the one hand, he criticized the long-standing shortcomings of female education at that time and firmly believed that education is the key to the full development of personal rationality. On the other hand, it also provided the emerging British middle class with a practical guide to educating daughters, which can still be used as a useful reference for parents. The book mainly focuses on moral, character, intellectual and etiquette education. It can be called an early version of the popular self-help guide manual, and its language draws on the nourishment of British literary tradition.
