About Me

My research focusses on grammar schools in England from the late fifteenth to the mid seventeenth centuries. I am interested in the purpose of grammar school education in this period, and how the humanist Latin curriculum was viewed compared to other types of knowledge, but even more than that, I am interested in who was establishing schools and why, who was teaching in them, and who was attending them.
