Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of the Adult School Movement within the Society of Friends. Its roots lie in the 18th-century Sunday School movement, which aimed to teach poor and illiterate people to read, often using the Bible as a text. In the 19th century, the movement expanded to include adult learners, it offered unsectarian Bible classes, and aimed to help the working class improve their lives. This book charts the movement's growth, from its humble beginnings in Nottingham in 1798 to its spread throughout Britain. It highlights the role of key figures such as William White and Joseph Sturge, and discusses the movement's social and religious impact, including the establishment of libraries, savings funds, and social clubs. By examining the Adult School Movement, the book sheds light on the changing attitudes towards education, religion, and the working class in 19th-century Britain. It reveals a remarkable story of social and religious innovation that had a profound impact on the lives of ordinary people.
