Altsprachliche Erwachsenendidaktik in Deutschland
Von den Anfängen bis zum Jahr 1945
This survey aims to be the first systematic contribution towards the formation of an andragogy for classical languages as an educational sub-discipline. Particular emphasis is placed on tracing the ancestry and origins of the Latinum and Graecum certificates acquired by students through mandatory courses and examinations at universities. This book additionally focuses on analyzing historical teaching materials both for class use and self-instruction. Empirical evidence is given by a thorough treatment of the conditions under which beginner’s courses in Greek and Latin were conducted at the Berlin University up until 1945.
Media coverage
"Von einem Werk dieses Themas erwartet der Leser zunächst ein großes Maß an Sachinformation – und ebendies bietet Brüssel in seinem sorgfältigen Überblick mit großer Kompetenz und Souveränität."
Dorothee Gall, in H-Soz-Kult
"Dieses schöne Buch bietet weit mehr, als sein Thema vermuten lässt."
Hans-Joachim Glücklich, in Forum Classicum Nr, 1 (2019)
"Brüssel draws on a broad range of sources, such as imperial decrees, private letters, administrative documents as well as scholarly literature. His personal engagement with the material and his wry sense of humour can be felt throughout the book. This, combined with his careful discussion of all matters at hand, makes for reading that is not just instructive, but also quite simply enjoyable."
Antonia Ruppel, in Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2020.06.14
